A great concern for many people today is the environment and future industry trends. This is because over the years, we have not taken the best care of the planet. These concerns began several decades ago when people began a world-wide campaign to clean up the earth. Sometime in the mid-1980's, Americans recognized their contributions to the environmental damage being done and took steps to change the situation. Since then, anyone who is concerned about the health of the planet has taken steps to do what they personally can to improve the situation.
