Yes, and these alternatives are not always what they are cracked up to be, despite what the "Greens" would have us believe.
Lancashire has a lot more cars now - but less industry. Maybe it all evens itself out one way or another. I was raised with belching chimneys of every description. We lived near the railroad tracks at one point. My baby sister would be out in the backyard in her pram, (catching the few odd rays), and Mum always had to swab out her nose and around her mouth when she was brought back inside because coal dust and grime, etc., would deposit itself on the child as she lay there. Neither one of us has developed any health problems as a result of breathing in all of this junk. I don't discount environmental causes - but some could just be the result of genetics.
