In this newsletter Lester Brown, leading environmental thinker, speaks of the coming of a ‘perfect storm’. Only this storm is more man-made than natural. And he predicts that this storm is coming faster than we have been expecting. Lester Brown asks “A lily pond has one leaf in it the first day, two the second day, four
