Ecological Crime of the 20th Century

What do you think was the ecological crime of the century?

As Canadians get ready to kick off Environment Week, which runs from June 1 to 7 this year, and we prepare to honour outstanding environmental initiatives with the Canadian Environment Awards, we couldn't help but marvel at all the smart and forward-thinking things that are being done to improve the health of our ecological commons. Which does raise the question:

Are we learning? Are we getting better at safeguarding the web of life? And so, we thought we'd ask what you think was the greatest ecological crime of the 20th century. Tell us what problem, what disaster, ranks as number 1, what or who you think caused it, and whether we've learned any important lessons from it.
