'green' Issues At Last Are Attracting Serious Attention, Owing To Critically Important Links Between The Environment And The Economy, Health, And Our Security.

If We Have A Hope Of Really Understanding Our Place In Nature And Of Carving Out A Place For Ourselves That Is Sustainable, It's Primarily Because Of The New Level Of Communication. It Used To Be, 'what You Don't Have In Your Mind, You Have On Your Shelf.' But Now We Have The Web.
