This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Cuyahoga River catching fire. While devastating, this event sparked the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Water Act and the creation of a strong local effort to promote environmental sustainability. This speaker series was created in an effort to capture some of the great work happening at 老澳门六合彩官方开奖 in relation to the region鈥檚 broader efforts to continue to promote sustainability in all its forms.
