Editorial concept of the Global Report, assigned and directed by Elizabeth Darby.
Art direction by Joeseph E. Daniel. Buzzworm Jan/Feb 1991 If you would like a pdf or physical copy of this story, please contact me. In understanding the environmental threats we alone have created air pollution and water pollution, population problems, global warming and energy impacts— there is no answer that we cannot attain. No solution is beyond the reach and ability of any human civilization now exiting on our small, small, beautiful planet.

is a host of unprecedented environmental threats —"
James J. McKenzie
Sustainable Agriculture --
"When it rains, it pours DDT in the USA and atracine in Germany." Terry Gips Population --
"Population control is difficult because it is a political problem, not a technological one." Garrett Hardin Global Warming --
"Fundamentally, dealing with global warming . . . involves a shift of priorities away from short-term national interests toward long-term global survival." Stephen Schneider Energy --
The resolution of our long-term energy problem is not a matter of fate, but of choice. James J. MacKenzie Ocean Pollution --
"It is encouraging that so much progress has been made over the past decade,yet the tremendous burden that a rapidly growing human population puts on the resources of the coastal zone, especially fisheries, mandates increased attention to the problem." Justin Lancaster Groundwater Pollution --
"Groundwater, once contaminated, can remain so nearly indefinitely despite nature's magic and our best high-tech efforts to clean it." Ann Maest and Lois Epstein Loss of Biodiversity--
"We are the proprietors of a Noah's ark-- we are choosing which kinds of plants and animals survive, and which die. Peter H. Raven |
Toxic Pollution --
"The problem with toxic chemicals and wastes is that there is too much of them being produced and too much of them in all the wrong places, like our air, soil and groundwater." Joel S. Hirschhorn Deforestation --
"Clearly we need to move as rapidly as possible toward global management of forests and a global agreement on biological diversity." Thomas Lovejoy Desertification --
"Desertification is a mega-concept. It encompasses many processes and has a natural as well as a human component . . . Only time will tell if humans are smart enough to give it attention." Michael Glantz Ozone Depletion --
"These historic treaties represent the first time that the international community of nations could agree on taking costly short-term preventative actions to protect against future rists—before there was firm scientific damage." Richard Elliot Benedick Indigenous People --
"There is no way to put a price tag on what it would cost to save tribal people. Indigenous people will never be secure; not even in our dreams will their land be safe." Mary George Hardman Air Pollution --
"Generically, if you figure in the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion, air pollution is the most important problem on a global scale." Michael Oppenheimer and Leonie Haimson |
