Consequences (Vol. 1, No. 3): Jesse H. Ausubel, David G. Victor, and Iddo K. Wernik's "The Environment Since 1970"
Read this article, which describes the environmental movement during the period 1970 - 1995. The journal article provides an excellent account of the environmental changes that were observed during this period. As you read, think about what has changed (for better or worse) and what hasn't since the article was written - in the areas of production, consumption, and population; global, regional, and local environmental issues; and regulation and management.
