Here’s a discussion on various environmental influences on the housing market…
_Chicago is also famous for a somewhat peculiar annual event: dyeing the Chicago River green. The tradition started in 1962, when city pollution-control workers used dyes to trace illegal sewage discharges and realized that the green dye might provide a unique way to celebrate the holiday._ [more info: History Channel](http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/stpatricksday/index.jsp?page=history3)
Today they use 40 pounds of dye instead of 100 pounds, _to minimize the environmental damage._
_but I digress…_
