UC celebrates Earth Day 2025 with award-winning publication

April 21, 2025

Earth Day celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Since its inception, Earth Day has gone global, and with its adoption have come federal intuitions such as the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and policies familiar to most: the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species acts. This year, UC’s College of Arts and Sciences has reason to celebrate as well. It’s a regional win, capturing the reformation of Fernald, a former nuclear production facility located in northwest Cincinnati. Professor and environmental historian Casey Huegel has received numerous awards for his book, “Cleaning Up the Bomb Factory: Grassroots Activism and Nuclear Waste in the Midwest,” (Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books, 2024).
