Right! Grassroots groups such as GASP (Group Against Smog and Pollution) helped the government set-up guidelines so that the Steel industry could continue without the horrifying effects on our air. Both the Air Pollution Control Act and the Clean Air Act were pieces of legislation mandating cleaner methods of industry. Another business which has sprouted from these regulations is recycling. Many companies now find it’s more economical to reuse their own materials rather than continuing to deplete our natural resources.
