In the 70’s there was a big environmental movement going on. Many nongovernmental groups (NGOs) were forming as well as bills and acts being past to help environment. A few of these NGOs were Friends of The Everglades, Sierra Club, and Planet Drum Foundation. Acts that were passed in the 70s were the Clean Air Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Though all of the intentions of the acts passed to save environment were good they caused some economic problems to arise. Such as some the car industries were losing business because they couldn’t meet demands of Clean Air Act due to lack of technology or money causing a revision in act. Other acts and bills passed were revised so it would not cause as much problems.
