  10. Earth Day: Alabama's Iron And Steel Manufacturing Contributes To Our Environment 4/23/2021

    I was in fifth grade on the first Earth Day. There was an abandoned earth mover in the woods near my elementary school, and Mrs. Fields’ social studies class painted it with bright colors to improve our visual environment.

    Little did I know then that Earth Day is about science, there are economics within environmentalism, and I would have a career promoting stewardship of the earth.
