In this episode of Operation History, Lauren, Maria, and David discuss some Environmental History.

Dave also brings light to the legislature and nonprofit organizations that made efforts and attempts to clean up the area. Stay tuned till the end of the episode for not one but two special announcements from the hosts! Also, as usual, some great bloopers are at the end of the episode, which is where the explicit rating comes in and there is an alcohol reference; as always please drink responsibly. And, for this episode, I would stay all the way till after the bloopers because we might just have another surprise announcement!

Trench life, the horrors of the first world war, and the comradery that the soldiers experience all helped to make this event both mythical, historic, and one of a kind. As always please stay tuned to the end of the episode for some hysterical bloopers (this time the episode truly earns its E rating).
