Environmental issues are a pressing concern for governments globally. World overpopulation, causing subset problems such as, water scarcity, climate change, and resource depletion, is at the top of the environmental issues list. Environmental policies supporting global initiatives need to be enacted immediately, in order for our environment to continue sustaining future generations. As an environmental scientist with the University of Toronto for over 25 years, I traveled the world and witnessed firsthand many of the issues discussed in this book. The clock is relentlessly ticking toward environmental catastrophe and the time for action is upon us if we are to enact the changes necessary to alter the course of our trajectory.
