The document discusses several major environmental issues and disasters that have occurred over the past century. It notes that the top 10 environmental disasters have all happened in the last 100 years. Examples of issues mentioned include habitat loss, overconsumption, and species extinction caused by human activities such as deforestation and pollution. The document advocates increasing knowledge, caring about environmental issues, and taking action as ways to address these problems. It emphasizes cultivating good character and ethics to inspire positive change.

William Eugene Smith was an influential American photojournalist known for his poignant images documenting the human impact of war and social issues. He rose to prominence during World War II as a staff photographer for Life magazine, creating some of the most evocative photos of the war. Later, his photo essays exposing the devastating health effects of mercury poisoning in Japan brought attention to environmental pollution issues. Smith was dedicated to using photography to seek truth and apply the highest standards of journalism.
The document provides a history of landscape photography from its origins in survey photography in the 1800s with photographers like William Henry Jackson and Timothy O'Sullivan, to the early environmental movement led by photographers like Darius Kinsey and Carleton Watkins. It traces the evolution of the genre through pioneers like Laura Gilpin, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Eliot Porter in the early 20th century and the new topographics movement of the 1970s with photographers such as Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz. The summary concludes with some notable contemporary landscape photographers like Clyde Butcher, Aaron Reed, Adam Burton, Chip Phillips, and Dick Arentz.
The 1960s were a tumultuous decade defined by social unrest and foreign policy challenges for the United States. Kennedy faced problems with the Berlin Wall and Vietnam, pursuing a policy of flexible response. The decade saw the Cuban Missile Crisis, ongoing civil rights struggles, and escalating US involvement in Vietnam under Johnson. Mass protests against the war grew through the late 1960s, culminating in the Tet Offensive and Nixon's policy of Vietnamization. Domestically, Johnson pursued a Great Society agenda but divisions grew over civil rights amid inner city unrest. Cultural norms shifted significantly as well, with rising social liberalism, counterculture movements, and opposition to established authority.

Jayson Fetterley participated in a challenging 4-week international trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota led by the author. Jayson excelled at building relationships with the local community through volunteering at the radio station and helping his host family. He also demonstrated leadership among the student group during difficult living conditions. Prior to the trip, Jayson had also impressed the author through significant contributions to research projects in their laboratory, co-authoring multiple papers. The author believes Jayson has strong qualities like intelligence, problem-solving skills, and strength of character that would serve him well as a doctoral student.
The document summarizes a Rotary Club of Singapore meeting where the Japanese Ambassador to Singapore, H.E. Mr. Yoichi Suzuki, spoke about the aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Some key points:
1) H.E. Mr. Suzuki discussed the strong psychological impact on the Japanese people and how Japan has had to rethink its energy policy and lifestyle after the nuclear disaster.
2) He noted the long-term challenges of decontamination and many people not being able to return home for decades.
3) The Ambassador highlighted Japan's need to adapt to an aging society while not overburdening the young, and to be

This document provides an overview and schedule for a three-day conference titled "Encountering the Anthropocene: The Role of Environmental Humanities and Social Sciences". The conference will take place from February 26-28, 2014 in Sydney, Australia and will explore how the environmental humanities and social sciences can help interpret the impacts of the Anthropocene, understand its implications, and engage the public. It will feature keynote speakers from universities and museums who will discuss topics like the role of narrative in the Anthropocene and applying transdisciplinarity for sustainability. Each day will focus on a different theme and include panel discussions.
Summary Presentation for The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to ...Earth Policy Institute
The energy transition is here. As fossil fuel resources shrink, as air pollution worsens, and as concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, oil, and natural gas, a new world energy economy is emerging. The old economy, fueled largely by coal and oil, is being replaced with one powered by solar and wind energy.
This document contains graphs and data on China's increasing consumption of grain, meat, and other foods to support its growing population. It shows China's grain production, imports, and consumption rising sharply from 1960 to the present. Meat and pork consumption per person has also increased substantially. The data demonstrates China's rising dependence on imports to feed itself and examines whether world food supplies can sustain China's growing demand.

Lester R. Brown worked for the USDA from 1959-1969, first as an international agricultural analyst. During this time, he authored two influential books on food and agriculture issues. In one instance, Brown sent a cable to the Secretary of Agriculture warning of an impending famine in India due to drought. This mobilized the US to ship 10 million tons of wheat to India and avert famine. Brown later became the Administrator of the International Agricultural Development Service at age 32, making him the youngest agency head in government.

This document provides data and graphs from Lester R. Brown's book "Full Planet, Empty Plates: The New Geopolitics of Food Scarcity" that support his arguments about increasing food scarcity. The graphs show rising food prices, increasing global population and ecological footprint, shifts to meat-heavy diets, and the growth of biofuels competing with food production for land and crops. Taken together, the data illustrates how population growth, dietary changes, and biofuel production are stressing the global food system.
This document provides an overview of the book "Full Planet, Empty Plates" which discusses the precarious state of the global food system. It summarizes that grain prices have sharply risen twice in recent years due to tight global food supplies. World grain production is only slightly exceeding consumption, leaving little buffer. Both population growth and dietary changes are increasing demand for grain, while climate change and other factors are constraining production. The global food system may be approaching a breaking point where it cannot reliably feed the world's population.
This document summarizes key points from a book about the new geopolitics of food scarcity. It discusses how population growth and dietary shifts are straining global food supplies. As more people consume resource-intensive meat and fish, demand is outpacing agricultural productivity. Rising food prices risk political instability as over 1 billion people face hunger. Managing population growth and sustainable diets are needed to avoid systemic risks to global food security.
Last Wednesday night we celebrated our 10-year anniversary with a dinner to which we’d invited Board members and people who have supported us: donors, NGOs, editors, reviewers, etc. We would have liked to have had a huge event to celebrate with—and thank—the many people around the world we have worked with during this time, but to keep carbon emissions low, we kept it local.
So, 45 of us gathered at Nora’s restaurant, America’s first certified organic restaurant, for a lovely evening of great food and great conversation.
During the reception we showed a PowerPoint to provide a sense of the scope of our work these past ten years, as well as highlighting some of the important people who have contributed so significantly.
Our thanks to you, our readers, and to all who help to get the Plan B message out.

The document summarizes the key points from the book "A World on the Edge: How To Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse" by Lester R. Brown. It outlines the goals of "Plan B" to stabilize the global population, eradicate poverty, restore the environment, and stabilize the climate. It warns that current trends of population growth, food demand, aquifer depletion and climate change threaten to push the world's systems past a tipping point. Immediate action is needed through increased energy efficiency, renewable energy and reforestation to avoid economic and social collapse.
