Global Environmental Challenges

Our planet is facing several challenges, each of which is significant on its own. Combined, these environmental challenges could quickly become the Perfect Environmental Storm with devastating outcomes for the planet. Some of the more severe challenges include: Exponential population growth continues to put severe pressure on food and clean water supplies. Exponential use (depletion) of non-renewable fuels is by definition perilous. Long before fossil fuels are completely depleted we will have dramatically changed our climate. And while some would like to completely deplete the earth's uranium, we have still not found a good solution to the 10,000 year problem of nuclear waste disposal nor nuclear arms proliferation. My goal is not to dwell on these issues, but rather to point out that there are ample reasons to take action today.
