The environment has become a battle ground in a war of values.
Some recent clashes indicate the battle is escalating.
China, the land that has become the United States' biggest source of adopted babies, has changed its law to encourage more of its own people to adopt orphaned and abandoned children. It was too early to say where the immigrants came from but Italy's shores are a constant magnet for desperate people from Albania, Africa Turkey, Iraq and Sri Lanka hoping for a better life in Europe. As the battle over evolution vs. creationism continues, more scientists and theologians are looking at what both fields have to offer. Sprawl, voting on urban growth initiatives and the Sierra Club were all discussed Friday on All Things Considered. There were several mentions of Sierra Club and the sprawl program, opinions from builders, professors, and others.
