We drink water, clean with water, and bathe in water-- but Ridge Schuyler is immersed in it. The 45-year-old Nature Conservancy executive has been on a mission to save the water.
He was a key player in the Conservancy's collaboration with the Dave Matthews Band to plant over 900 trees at the forks of the Rivanna River to offset the pollution caused by their tour busses around the country. He led the charge to solve Central Virginia's water shortage with an inter-reservoir pipeline.
Hahaha, the pollution caused by the Dave Mathews Band tour busses! Remember when they dumped shit all over that dude fishing under the bridge? Dave Mathews is from Charlottesville. This particular paper really, really, really loves him for being from here. I normally can't stand the Hook because they are so in love with the snoby side of Charlottesville, but they pulled this one off pretty well and published a good article. Well worth the read.
