The Environment. Historical perspective
Description
From the first agricultural settlements, to the industrial revolution, to agribusiness and widespread urbanization, humans have been transforming the environment for thousands of years. But now, with rain forests disappearing at an appalling rate, pollution on the rise, and the world's population reaching truly astronomical proportions, how will the Earth survive? In this program, Lester Brown, president of Worldwatch Institute; academic experts; and others study the environmental impact humans have had on the planet and present their perspectives on ecological stewardship for the 21st century.
