Perhaps One Of The Most Meaningful Ways To Sense The Impact Of The Environmental Crisis Is To Confront The Question Which Is Always Asked About Lake Erie: How Can We Restore It?

In Every Case, The Environmental Hazards Were Made Known Only By Independent Scientists, Who Were Often Bitterly Opposed By The Corporations Responsible For The Hazards.
