William Bunting (eco-warrior)
edit- ... that William Bunting saved Thorne Moors, England, from the dumping of 32 million tons of waste and it's now a nature reserve?

New article, long enough, interesting, neutral and sourced. I haven't checked copyvio extensively, but I haven't found copy-pasting from the sources I've inspected either. As for the hook, may I suggest instead: "... that Thorne Moors, England, once called "Thorne Waste", were preserved by the work of eccentric eco-warrior William Bunting? I'm okay with the current one too, but I initially misread it as "that [Bunting] saved Thorne Moors ... and is now a nature reserve", implying Bunting himself became a reserve.

- * Thanks, Qwertyus, for the review. I'm happy with your hook if others agree. --Storye book (talk) 14:10, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
