SFS Minute 948: Environment

There is no doubt that these are difficult times to live in. We have the war in Iran, gas prices going crazy, and a possible recession. There is a lot to worry about. We all love to worry about the environment, and rightfully so. We have to keep our air and water clean, but we are always hearing that it's getting worse. I'll give you the reality in just a second. Air quality regulations, cleaner engines, and improved energy sources have reduced pollution in most major cities around the world. While the challenges remain, measurable improvements are occurring. The lesson is very hopeful. When societies identify problems clearly, we have the ability to develop amazing solutions. The data is very clear. We are living in the cleanest environmental time in the last 1,000 years. The world is getting better.
