Diamond Teague we'll always miss you


I just watched a PBS Special on EO Wilson. He covered the basics of what we had noted in a previous post: religion might be to tool to save the environment. As I have said many times before "A sin against nature is a sin against God". Anyway, the most suprising part of today's Bill Moyers was not Wilson but the story of Diamond Teague who rose from the ashes of poverty to become a steward of nature. An amazing story.

Here goes the description taken from PBS (notice the link to the videos!):

As this week's story on the Earth Conservation Corps and Bill Moyers' interview with E.O. Wilson both demonstrate, local efforts can make a difference in helping to maintain a healthy and sustainable environment.
