DESCRIPTION:Saving Civilization Is Not A Spectator Sport\n\nWe're making strides toward 
 environmental sustainability, but is it enough? And what, if anything, can 
 we do to help?\n\n\nLester Brown, President, Earth Policy 
 Institute\n\nBrown sees concern in the merging of world food and energy 
 economies. Putting corn ethanol in gas tanks and grain-intensive food 
 (beef) into more human bellies will drive up commodity prices and 
 exacerbate fresh water scarcity. Though he believes the Earth is under 
 stress, Brown is hopeful, in part because for the first time since the 
 Industrial Revolution we have begun investing in energy sources that can 
 last forever. Brown also will comment on how the melting glaciers of Tibet 
 could affect the price of a bagel in California.\n
