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.
  

But that may be our collective Achilles heel— just because we know we can change the way we live . . . does not mean we will choose to do so. . . .

"Our legacy to the new millennium
is a host of unprecedented environmental threats —" 
James J. McKenzie

Picture
Sustainable Agriculture --
"When it rains, it pours DDT in the USA and atracine in Germany." 
                                                                              Terry Gips
Picture
Population --
"Population control is difficult because it is a political problem, not a technological one."

                                                         Garrett Hardin

Picture
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
Picture
Energy --
The resolution of our long-term energy problem is not a matter of fate, but of choice. 

                                                James J. MacKenzie
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
Deforestation --
"Clearly we need to move as rapidly as possible toward global management of forests and a global agreement on biological diversity." 
                                                  Thomas Lovejoy
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
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
Picture
Air Pollution --
"Generically, if you figure in the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion, air pollution is the most important problem on a global scale."
