The Utah Valley Earth Forum believes it is helpful to honor those who do extraordinary work to help the greater good and the good of the earth, especially here in Utah. We presented our 2009/2010 Earth Stewardship Award to Jim Kennon and Dick Cumiskey on Wednesday, February 10th. These two men have struggled for over 8 years--against great odds--to prevent a proposed coal power plant from dirtying the air of Sevier County and thereby inflicting suffering and even death on some of its inhabitants. Jim is in failing health, but he, Dick and their neighbors fight on to help the greater good and the good of the earth. We wish Jim and Dick and their colleagues at Sevier Citizens for Clean Air every success in the ongoing efforts to work for a healthy, sustainable environment.
Past recipients of the Earth Stewardship Award include BYU Professor Arden Pope and Brian Moench, M.D. Both were honored for their important work to improve the quality of the air we all breathe. photos © by James Westwater
