We inhabit a vulnerable planet. The devastation caused by natural disasters such as the southern Asian tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, and the earthquakes in China’s Sichuan province, Haiti, and Chile-as well as the ongoing depletion and degradation of the world’s natural resources caused by a burgeoning human population-have made it clear that “business as usual” is no longer sustainable. We need to find ways to improve how we live on this planet while minimizing our impact on it.
