The Human Factor

Humans have an incredible capacity to destroy -- our sordid history as a race confirms this truth. But human ingenuity cannot be underestimated, either. Tonight's guest, distinguished sustainability expert, consultant and author Alan AtKisson, gave us a refreshingly positive view of the future -- and humanity's capacity to change it.

Also, June 5 was World Environment Day. Sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme, this year's "day" had a theme of "Kick the Carbon Habit". Loads of good information, including a fact sheet which gives 12 ways for you to "kick" your own carbon habit, is found here: http://www.unep.org/wed/2008/english/Information_Material/index.asp.
