The 1960’s Decade

Rising Awareness
• Also in the 1960’s, several environmental disasters made headlines and helped raise public awareness.

• The first Earth Day, in 1970, was a historic demonstration of public concern for environmental issues.

Economics, Policy ,and the Future Section 3
Voting
• One of the most important decisions you may make is in the act of voting. The people we elect will make decisions that affect our environmental future.
• The candidates stance on environmental issues can be researched through the media, voter organizations, and Web sites.
• Another way to take action on environmental problems is to join a group of people who share your concerns and interests.

Weighing the Evidence
• We have the responsibility to educate ourselves as we make decisions that affect the world around us.
• Do not be misled by information that may look convincing but that has no supporting evidence.
• A popular environmental slogan is to “think globally, act locally.” This slogan reminds us that our everyday actions have broader effects.

Consumer Choices
• Another environmental slogan you may have heard is “reduce, reuse, recycle.”
• As consumers, we can reduce the amount of things we buy and use, we can reuse things that are often used only once, and we can recycle many materials.
• As a consumer, you may choose to buy products that are produced sustainably or that do less damage to the environment.
