After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

LA isn't smoggy anymore. I Am Absolutely Serious.
When California restrictive emissions standards failed to yield sufficient joy, the legislature enacted the Cash For Clunkers program.

It isn't AS smoggy anymore. There are still days when you can't see that far through the air.

My friend is always posting photos - both night and day - of LA's beautiful skyline.
Even when I was at Tech, there were many days the air was pristine and refreshing, then the very next day is was brown with Nitric Oxide.
Nitric Oxide is the fume that Fuming Nitric Acid produces. Breath that shit and it will turn the water in your lungs into HNO3.
