Wednesday is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. On the first Earth Day in 1970, I was eight going on nine and in third grade. A couple of years earlier, we had moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which had notoriously polluted air from all of the steel mills, to north central Ohio, near Lake Erie, which was at the time very polluted. A lot has changed since then, we don't see as much pollution as we did in the 1960s and 1970s, but we're still facing a lot of problems. So for today's trivia challenge, ask your parents what were some of the environmental problems that they remember as a kid, and do a search for "Earth Day" and the year they were your age, plus the word poster and see what you find.
