Abstract

The environmental movement has been a great success in many measurable ways. Lake Erie, once an enormous sewer, is now swimmable. The Cayahoga River is no longer in danger of spontaneous combustion. It is once again possible, on occasion, to see the mountains that rim the Los Angeles Basin. In Missoula, people no longer breathe the smoke from tepee burners. In some cases, we know by merely looking that things are better than they were a few decades ago, but we can also document many invisible environmental improvements in parts per million, and perhaps even in lives saved.
