environmental damage

["Dan Oldham - Elec. Systems" <dan-o@magadd2.nov.add.bnl.gov>]

Hi fellow Radsafers,
      Does anyone have any facts on the overall condition of our
environment (The U.S. and the rest of the world) as compared 
to 10 and 20 years ago? 
      A discussion here at work has centered on the damage we have 
caused to the environment..
      I say that we as a nation have a cleaner environment than 10 or
20 years ago since we began to cleanup and protect the environment.  
My co-worker claims the environment is worse off now and getting even 
worse.
      Any comments?
