Environment Day

I hav been recently reading the trilogy of work on future scenarios by the Global Scenario Group. I intend to investigate in the following weeks how we have progressed on the critical trends that their work envisaged: population growth, economic growth, technological change, decentralization of authority, equity trends, resource depletion, pollution and global environmental change.
There is still no indication of broadbased change of values in people and institution. Of course this is very difficult to start let alone implement. However many developed countries are doing a lot though we are still a long way off in the global context. Initiatives like, Environment Day spotlights cities, which talks of events across 100 countries promoting the idea of "green cities" are encouraging. People awareness and participation are key and I believe there is a lot to do in that regard.
