    I don’t think it was the USSR that was the motivation behind it, at least the ones during that period. It might’ve been more the hatred of cities, cancer, disease, and pests respectively. I will admit, giving the USSR credit for the environmental movement in the US is a creative and new one for me. You are off by about 25 years there for the beginning but it’s close.

      The USSR deserves credit for pretty much every good idea the US has ever had since the New Deal.

      And now that the USSR is gone, everything good the US has ever done is being eroded by fascists.

      Makes you think!
