I lived then and these pictures are very shallow and only show a little of what things were like. They should show things like Fishkill, NY, and how we would dump trash out in the sea, how every area had an impromptu dump down by the river where old mattresses and wash machines ended up and took decades to clean up, where people thought it was OK to dump their auto oil directly onto the ground, massive exposed unlined dumps where auto and household chemicals would leak eventually into aquifers, companies dumping things like chrome plating, benzene enough it floated on drinking aquifer (see Love Canal, etc.), where a guy thought it OK to buy medical waste and bury hundreds of the barrels in his back yard "because it was his land", or along Lake Erie where you could not even get near it from stink of dead Alewives(arguably man-made). The environment was worse than they portray in this pictorial.
