A long, winding road: a consensus is slowly building around the nation on how to improve our environmental protection system
Article Abstract:
The Enterprise for the Environment (E4E) project spearheaded the move to improve the US environmental protection system by releasing its final report entitled 'The Environmental Protection System in Transition: Towards a More Desirable Future' in Jan 1998. Polarized battles over environmental policy urged former administrator of the US EPA William D. Ruckelshaus to convene the E4E projects. Since then several forums have met to discuss the improvement of the environmental protection system which agreed on how it would look like and how the nation could achieve it.

A clean, secure future: environmental security is essential to world harmony
Article Abstract:
Man has lived for a comparatively shorter span of time on earth than other living species but he has managed to bring the world to the brink of another extinction with his profound impact on the environment. Environmental groups have urged for a substantial change in human behavior to trigger the much-needed environmental improvement. Specialists from different fields have differing views but they all agree that consumption patterns, waste and production disposal pose a threat to the planet's safety and welfare.

Seeking common ground for environmental change
Article Abstract:
Forester and author Aldo Leopold believes that the key to resolving the conflict between the two distinct environmental policies of John Muir and Giford Pinchot lies in realizing that the adversaries focussed their attention on different land-system scales. Muir was a preservationist whereas Pinchot championed conservationist causes. Leopold believes that solutions to environmental problems must be determined locally since every system has unique scale system.
