Photographers with the EPA's Documerica Project set out to prove how modern habits were hurting the environment in the early '70s. They made it to Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston and other Texas cities, and their work offers a poignant look at the day-to-day lives of people then. The Atlantic's In Focus blog showcases a compelling set from Texas in a series organized by region. Don't miss scores more photosin the post.
