Compiled by Bob Nixon

for social justice. 
•	Faced with a decade of environmental lawsusits and up to a billion dollars in toxic cleanup libability, the American Smelting and
Refining Company, a copper mining giant, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allowed it to become profitable by wiping out its
environmental liabilities. 
•	Twenty-somethings, the so-called "Millennial Generation," who were born after 1978, are burdened with increasing levels of debt.
