It was 52 years ago, another time, but not another place.
The year was 1970, and Albion, Michigan is recognized on CBS News, national tv by our old-time favorite broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite, for its efforts to work towards a more sustainable future.
The story tells of Albion’s population being 14,000 and taking a claim to be “Manufacturing Town USA.” Albion’s population is now 8,534, and we think of ourselves more of a college town now, since much has changed.
We didn’t get Earth Day into the General Guide XXXI, but we’ll post more environment information here as we go along.
