Enviro TV

The hardest part of working with a group, or playing for a team, is recognizing the common goal. That in mind, I have started volunteering my time to a fledgling environmental documentary TV show here at MSU, run by Lou D'Aria, and that would air on local station WKAR. For a while I wasn't sure what I was doing, I was kind of roped in to it when I was one of four who actually showed for the meeting! Well, tomorrow I am heading to St. Louis, MI to film, photograph and ask about the remains of the demon DDT plant that once supplied its river with enough petro-chemicals so that to this day it is illegal to build on or around the former site. Yet still today DDT is made, and DDT is used, in 3rd world countries under many-a-corporate aid front. The goal of this documentary is to link MSU professor George Wallace, and his research on the effects of DDT on Lansing-area Robins with Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring. I think it will be fun. Lou is the kind of guy that firmly believes anything is possible and that money is no object. Think Richard Attenborough's character in Jurassic Park and you might get the picture.
