Welcome ...

 

The beauty and life of the desert - under siege Fellow great ape - threatened with extinction Mountain wilderness - suffering from the spread of human-produced toxins

 
... to my home on the Web. I'm an environmental writer with a focus on fundamental but underreported ecological issues.

Headlines distract us with other concerns, but there is no question our ecological predicament is humanity's greatest challenge.

It's much more than climate change. If we hope to mitigate further environmental disaster and avert the cataclysm of global ecological collapse, we must face squarely such interrelated topics as the size and growth of the human population and the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Looking more deeply, it is time we confronted the unsustainability of basic structures of civilization we have heretofore embraced.

Here you can see a snapshot of my efforts to bring light to these problems. You'll find a sampling of articles, a blog for updates and items of interest, links to high quality resources, information on speaking engagements and interviews, and more.

Thanks for stopping by!

It is essential to see the profound peril in continued flagrant misperception of the very nature of the human situation. -- William R. Catton, Jr.
