Green California


California’s Fight For Green

            Starting way back in 1947 with an air protection law, California has been leading a revolution for green ever since. In 1970 California passed the California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA for short. Later on they passed yet another movement called the AB32 which forced a in cut greenhouse gases. In 2002 California forced carmakers to cut down on vehicle emissions and 13 other states followed in their lead. Basically California has been going green for a long time and their influence has spread almost nationwide. I on one hand think this is a great thing. Every little thing can help cut down on greenhouse gases and California has been doing a lot.

  2. I think it is great that California started going green before most other states did. It guided the way for further green movements across the nation.
