WGBH Forum Network; World on the Edge: Preventing Environemtnal and Economic Collapse
Description:
Environmentalist Lester Brown has been assessing the health of the earth's ecosystems for more than two decades. Over that time he has seen increasing signs of break-down until we are now facing issues of near overwhelming complexity and unprecedented urgency. Can we change direction before we go over the edge? In his book World on the Edge, Brown attempts to answer that question by systemically laying out both the challenges and the potential policy solutions.
