- W198193003 abstract "United States is not only the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history but it is also the source of immense technological innovation that employs extraordinary human resources and astonishing advances in information and communication technology to create wealth and improve lives. During the quarter century since the first Earth Day, the U.S. economy has more than doubled in size while the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat have grown safer and cleaner. We have led the world both in policies to protect the environment and to promote continuing growth. This was not an anomaly. Prosperity and stewardship are interrelated. Environmental protection benefits where efficiency thrives. Nevertheless, United States and global trends suggest that our future well-being depends on the creation of new values, incentives, and legal standards that will more rapidly improve our environmental performance as population and economic output grow. We are part of a global economy in which barriers to commerce and competition are being dismantled. Goods, investment, people, information, images, and ideas flow across borders at a tremendous pace. Global population, which doubled between 1950 and 1990, will likely double again early in the next century. Much of the world is still impoverished. Half the world's people have no toilets; one quarter have no access to clean water; and 1 billion people are hungry even though more food is available than ever before. However, economic growth is reducing poverty and creating new centers of industrialization in Asia and Latin America. The world's economy is growing even faster than population, multiplying pressures on the environment. Human activity during the past fifty years has had a greater impact on Earth than all of the 100,000 years of human history that preceded it. With the impact of a rapidly growing population multiplied by economic growth, the next fifty years will have consequences many times greater. Soil loss has already degraded lands totaling more than the area of India and China combined. Eighty percent of the world's original forests have been cut, and deforestation is increasing. Subsidized fishing fleets compete bitterly for depleted stocks of wild salmon, cod and many other species. The world's coral reefs, which, along with rainforests are the richest reposito-" @default.
