Sometimes out of tragedy good things arise. This week in 1969 the Cuyahoga river caught on fire. No one knows for certain, but many believe the sparks from a rail car crossing the river was enough to ignite the oil and gas that covered the river. It happened periodically in the years prior to the 1969 river fire, but increasing awareness of damage being done to our environment created a sensitivity that helped trigger positive change.
