In some places, the environment IS getting better. LA air is WAY less polluted than it was in 1980. Still terrible, but much better. At the turn of the century in the age of coal, London's skies were sometimes black! In another way, the environment is much worse. More species go extinct because of our numbers every year, yet we do NOTHING to limit our numbers. Which is the cause of environmental degradation, and many of our other problems, the root cause.
