     But, I assume you didn't and drove all the way. It's a free
     country. Do you have kids, grand kids? greatgrad kids? Do

     ignoring all the scientific information that documents
     environmental degradation?

The on-line magazine _Consequences_
http://www.gcrio.org/CONSEQUENCES/introCON.html
 has an article in its Autumn 1995
issue entitled "The Environment Since 1970"

by Jesse H. Ausubel, David
G. Victor, and Iddo K. Wernik. It gives an account of what has gotten
worse and what has gotten better in the U.S. and the world since 1970.
The summary says
http://www.gcrio.org/CONSEQUENCES/fall95/envir.html

     Much has changed in the environment and how it is managed in
     the quarter century since the first Earth Day in April of
     1970. Environmental awareness has undeniably increas ed, and
     while progress has been uneven, both in the U.S. and among
     other countries of the world, a number of indicators show
     marked improvement.

The article is more friendly to the environmental movement than I
would be.
