Global Waste and Pollution
MANY HAVE CREATED IT...
ONLY A SELECT FEW HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO REVERSE IT
SAVING EARTH'S RESOURCES
Earth stewardship involves shaping trajectories of social-ecological change at local-to-global scales to enhance ecosystem resilience and human well-being. Over the next decade, society has a very narrow window of opportunity to radically redefine our relationship with the planet, and reduce risks of dangerous global changes that could otherwise seriously degrade Earth’s life-support systems.
