Synopsis: Green is the new black. The world is finally doing something about climate change. People are swapping soft-whites for compact fluorescents, exchanging Hummers for hybrids. Renewable energy has wind in its sails. College students compute carbon footprints. Madison Avenue has discarded the words “new and improved” in favor of “sustainability.” Is this enough? Policy-makers insist that environmental responsibility not come at the expense of economic growth. Massive populations in China and India are playing catch-up with America’s consuming and polluting ways. And on a planet biologists believe can only support a few billion humans over the long haul, our population is near seven billion and continuing to rise. Will our efforts to save the planet be nullified by our worship of growth?
