In the late 1950s,a group of upper-middle class housewives from Los Angeles established an organization called"Stamp Out Smog"to cope with the serious air pollution.As the most active non-governmental and the most representative women's environmental organization at that time,its members made a lot of contribution to solving the smog problem in Southern California.The organization exerted influence on policy-making and law-making by launching many lobbying activities at administrative and legislative bodies and actively publicizing their opinions to the public.Although their project named"Share a Ride Day"failed,it still had unique value."Stamp Out Smog"not only made an important contribution to the air pollution control in Southern California,but was also an outstanding representative of the combination of the feminist and environmental movement at that time,demonstrating the significant value of civic groups and women's groups in the cause of environmental reform.
