But I guess it wasn't that hard to do - it relied on industry finding alternatives to those chemicals and developing new processes as well as there being large enough political will to force that to happen. And there were alternatives which meant that the public could easily adapt from one method to another of refrigerating food or getting their 80s punk hair to hold - I don't come across anyone lamenting the lack of CFCs nowadays in the way that people would lament the lack of oil which we are far more dependent on. Good things can happen in smaller steps perhaps.
Thanks for the article. Ad astra per aspera
We thought ourselves very clever if we could wrap campus politics of 1970/71 to include Anti-VietNam War politics as well as CFC politics. What fun, until Kent State, of course.
Ah~ to have that energy in the streets again. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
