30. A defining moment for me was the Cuyahoga River fire
I was still in high school at the time and will never forget my complete shock that a river could burn that way. It became clear to me that environmental clean-up was a challenge for my generation. We've succeeded in some areas, we really have cleaned up some rivers, saved some animals, etc.; missed completely with the bigger picture.
So does your generation look at the world and see third world countries and the need for new technologies to advance everyone's standard of living? Does Rwanda loom large the way the holocaust loomed large for us?
