GreenPolicy360 Siterunner: In the 1950s and 1960s, when your GreenPolicy editor was a young person growing up in Los Angeles, California, the people in L.A. breathed some of the dirtiest air in the world.

Los Angeles still has 'smog' now, but it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be. How did the city get its act together?

It took decades. California was out in front in the U.S. and world in air quality regulations but it wasn’t until 1975 that the U.S. required new cars to have catalytic converters, “the key piece of technology that allowed everything to change,” according to Mary Nichols, chairman of California’s Air Resources Board. In between, there were frustrating years of scientific research, industry denial, politics, protest and an unwavering attachment to the automobile.
