ABSTRACT

We are all only too aware of the numerous pressing global social issues that need to be addressed. These include issues such as addressing abject poverty, providing clean water, adequate food and shelter, proper sanitation, and so forth. But ultimately if we do not have a clean environment, such as clean air, clean water, and clean land, all those other pressing global social issues become even more difficult and costly to resolve. Thus, saving our environment has to be the most vital issue that humankind must address today, feeding into our fears that this millennium may be our last.
