The air is a thousand times cleaner. The environment is much, much cleaner. Cars are more efficient, etc.
I remember back in the 1970's watching the evening news on CBS and they would show "Smog Alerts" in major cities every day on the national news.
There was constant fear and talk of "Acid Rain".
It was pretty bad in the 1970's. The industrial revolution had been going on for a few decades and had ramped up after WW2 and factories were just belching shit into the air and water.
