Slide Show -- Mobilizing to Save Civilization

Earth Policy Institue -- Slide Show for Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization http://www.earth-policy.org/Books/PB3/presentation.htm

At Earth Policy Institute (EPI) we often receive requests for a visualpresentation to accompany Lester Brown's latest book, Plan B 3.0: Mobilizingto Save Civilization. The reasons vary widely, from people wanting to spreadthe word within their communities, to teachers looking to relay the messageto their students, to individuals seeking to quickly get the gist of thebook. Because of this interest, EPI has created a slideshow illustrating intext, pictures, and graphs why and how we need to mobilize to savecivilization. Our aim in producing this presentation is to provide a brief but engagingsummary of the book's key concepts. By helping interested parties spread thePlan B vision, we hope to encourage social and political involvement incritical environmental issues--for example, banning new coal-fired powerplants or implementing an economy-wide carbon tax to help stabilize climate. You are welcome to use this presentation and modify it to suit your needs.It is designed to be shared, so feel free to pass along the link to otherswho might be interested. We ask only that you appropriately credit EPI andthe photographers, notably Yann Arthus Bertrand (www.yannarthusbertrand.com/v2/yab_us.htm), eminent French photographer andfriend of EPI, whose works appear within.
