This is part of a series which explains how our planet is being destroyed by negligence and short-sighted attitudes towards our environment. The consequences are now becoming apparent with pollution, acid rain, global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. This book shows clearly what is happening to the environment and the results if no action is taken. It is about decision making for future generations and looks at the growth in world population, the provision of food, pollution, the ageing population and efforts to plan for the future.
