Learning About Environmental Issues - From Larry West, our Environmental Issues writer, "Protecting and preserving our natural environment is a matter of life and death for every creature on Earth and all future generations. Our ability to use resources without depleting them, to function as part of a sustainable ecosystem, and to serve as responsible environmental stewards is critical. My goal is to help you get the information you need to make effective decisions about key environmental issues, from national policies and global initiatives to personal lifestyle choices."
