Oops.  NEPA passed in 1969 which was our Sophomore Slump year -- we closed
down the school over another war ...

CWA was 1972 -- Senior year of 1972 was especially productive:   DOW passed
1000, Equal Rights Amendment passed, Red-baiter Nixon first US President to
go to China , Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT-I) , DDT banned,
Watergate break-in,  Coastal Zone Management ACT, Marine Mammals ACT, First
World Earth Day, FBI Hoover died, Roe v Wade decided (but not announced),
small pox vaccination ended and victory declared, Club of Rome "Limits to
Growth", first cell phone call, Death penalty ruled unconstitutional, Arab
terrorists killed Israeli Olympians,  Binladen Brothers was formed.

And on February 26, 1972, the largest coal slurry spill in US history
happened:: the Logan County coal slurry dam break -- or at least it was coal
slurry spill at the Martin County Coal Company in Inez, Kentucky on Oct. 11,
2000.

The USEPA concluded that Kentucky Inez spill was the worst environmental
catastrophe in the history of the Eastern United States. More extensive than
the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, the Inez spill dumped an estimated 306
million gallons of toxic sludge down 100 miles of the Big Sandy River and
its tributaries in Kentucky.

Another good reason to use Home automation to reduce consumption.
