Rivers carried our garbage away. Smog had the smell of prosperity.  Then birds began dropping from our skies. The Cuyahoga River caught fire. But the environment had one champion, Senator Gaylord Nelson. Flying to an oil spill in Santa Barbara California, he got an idea. He hired a college student, Denis Hayes, to make it happen. The result was the largest demonstration in US history. Linda Crotta Brennan is the Award-winning author of over twenty books for young readers including When Rivers Burned: The Earth Day Story, Women of the Ocean State: 25 Rhode Island Women You Should Know, The Black Regiment of the American Revolution, and Flannel Kisses.
