Einzelstück 18 - State of the World 1989. A Worldwatch Institute Report on Progress Toward a Sustainable Society

This sixth annual examination of the world's ecological health by the Worldwatch Institute comes at a time when people are worried about record hot summers, polluted beaches, and drought-induced food shortages. This rising concern results from personal experiences in 1988 reinforced by the news that global warming has arrived, that tropical forests are disappearing much faster than we thought and that a thinning of the earth's protective ozone layer threatens the health of people everywhere.
