If you want to read it [i believe it's worth it] have a look at http://www.christiansforthemountains.org/Articles/EOWILSON_Letter.pdf. It is by no means long and hopefully will maintain your attention.
It's framed as a letter and is really persuasive. but it's persuasive on kind of a nil issue. I mean, there is general agreement that it's important to protect the environment but he seems to just be pointing out the fact that cooperation is key. it almost seems like what he has to say could be said in two sentences. he establishes good points, but I'm left thinking that they are too persuasive for what he's asking. like pointing out to someone that they have an alfalfa when if they could see it themselves they would fix it. it seems unusual for a person to establish really strong reasons for someone to do something when it's already likely to be done anyway. perhaps Wilson is overcoming an attitude of stubborness. Or maybe he's just trying to be really clear.
In any case I just wanted to suggest you read it. It is enjoyable.
