California Man Hopes to Inspire Environmental Work with New Book

SOUTHBURY, Connecticut, USA - Orenaug Mountain Publishing announces the release of Thanks for the Memories by Roger Funston of Marysville, California. Funston has had a long career as an environmental scientist. In Thanks for the Memories he writes about his life journey, his travels, and his professional adventures in the early days of environmental protection.

Since his retirement, Funston has had the opportunity to participate in biological assessments and habitat protection studies in remote locations on four continents. This experience informs his writing and life outlook.

“While it is easy to get overwhelmed with the huge global environmental issues over which we have little control, I choose instead to work locally,” Funston says. He adds, “Dedicated groups of people can make a difference. My hope is that this book will inspire you to get engaged and do what you can to heal the earth.”
