Why not decades ago for all the "Going Green" initiatives?

Sure with the state of the economy and the gas and food prices no wonder everyone is thinking green but why now rather than years ago. I mean researchers been screaming for decades that earths resources could not handle the consumption rate at which we humans operate. I think that they should have been drilling it our heads about being green conscious and conserving more then and maybe things wouldnt be so bad now. neway just my 2 cents wut do u guys think

The green movement was on the rise up until the early 80's, when the Regan administration declared war on environmental departments and laws, freeing up industry from the fetters that had "held them back". The movement is still recovering.

The original environmental movement had a hand in burning it self out as well. They tried to be a counter culture, but that scares away the majority of people. And then the counter culture lost its way in the fog of increased drug use. Again, the movement is just now regaining some of that momentum, but in a decidedly different way.
