“Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to
Save Civilization”
with Lester Brown,
author of the book Plan B 3.0, which investigates the most salient issues from global warming to the impact of unstable governments on our global society, and provides a map for saving civilization. Brown diagnoses the central ecological problems affecting our planet and offers a response for individuals and governments. Among other concerns, he considers how to raise energy efficiency world-wide and how to harness alternative energy sources on the scale needed. Brown, founder/ president of Earth Policy Institute based in Washington, DC, has been honored with numerous prizes, including a MacArthur Fellowship, the United Nation Environment Prize, and Japan’s Blue Planet Prize. One of the world’s most widely published authors, his books have appeared in some 40 languages. Among his earlier books are Man, Land, and Food, World Without Borders, and Building a Sustainable Society. His 1995 book Who Will Feed China? challenged the official view of China’s food prospect, spawning hundreds of conferences and seminars.
