Countdown – Alan Weisman

Regardless of your political party or your spiritual beliefs there is one language that is pretty much universal; math. And the math indicates that we are approaching the point where the available food won’t feed the available mouths. Most of us understand the depleting of the Earth’s resources in a very distant sense because we don’t see it on a daily basis. And when you don’t see something it’s easy to think you don’t play a part in either creating it or fixing it. But that’s not true. We can fix it, if understand how we got here.
