Cuyahoga River Fire: 40 Years Later
by
Steve Auger
The fire on the
Cuyahoga River, once described as the river that "oozes rather than flows",
symbolizes the start of the environmental movement. In 1969 there were no fish
in the worst polluted section of the Cuyahoga River. Now there are 60+ species.
