STRONG WORDS

I was impressed by Strong’s commitment to the future of our planet, especially since he has worked on the industrial/ business side of the environ- mental equation. However, he fails to note that Third World populations, struggling to feed increasing numbers of mouths, will continue to use up an increasing number of acres of land and then move on to more. While the United States adds the equivalent of another Los Angeles to its population each year, how can the environment possibly be improved?
