Moral Ground -- a worthwhile read

An exceptionally fine book, published a few years ago (but I'm just getting to it this winter), Moral Ground - Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril, edited by Kathleen Dean Moore and Michael P. Nelson, details "the testimony of over 80 visionaries — theologians and religious leaders, scientists, elected officials, business leaders, naturists, activists, and writers — to present a diverse and compelling call to honor our individual and collective moral responsibilities to our planet." The contributors consider the ethics of "doing the right thing for our planet, its animals, its plants, and its people." An amazing collection of chapters from this long list of activists and scholars - it is inspiring and idea-generating from start to finish.
