Funny Stuff from US Environmental History

Dr. Morton is funny. There was a lot of funny stuff this semester. Here are a few things I remember. Listed is both class content and funny Morton stuff.

The Cuyahoga River catching fire. Several times.

"Spontaneous combustion isn't something that is suppose to happen to a river." Morton

"I have long had an interest in both salmon and dams." Author Richard White

"Acts of God!" Paul Morton in a booming voice. Multiple times this semester.

Large Pig Feces Ponds.

There is a farming town with 0% unemployment, but everyone is 30% below the poverty line. What the?? But have no fear, for a big CEO said, "I know these people. They are happy people. They are happy driving their tractors." This CEO ranted on why this situation was justified. It was ridicoulous.


Well, there was probably more. Perhaps you should just take the class.
