<p>Where should the United States focus its long-term efforts to improve the nation's environment? What are the nation's most important environmental issues? What role should science and technology play in addressing these issues? <i>Linking Science and Technology to Society's Environmental Goals</i> provides the current thinking and answers to these questions.</p>
<p>Based on input from a range of experts and interested individuals, including representatives of industry, government, academia, environmental organizations, and Native American communities, this book urges policymakers to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use social science and risk assessment to guide decision-making.</li>
<li>Monitor environmental changes in a more thorough, consistent, and coordinated manner.</li>
<li>Reduce the adverse impact of chemicals on the environment.</li>
<li>Move away from the use of fossil fuels.</li>
<li>Adopt an environmental approach to engineering that reduces the use of natural resources.</li>
<li>Substantially increase our understanding of the relationship between population and consumption.</li>
</ul>
<p>This book will be of special interest to policymakers in government and industry; environmental scientists, engineers, and advocates; and faculty, students, and researchers.</p>
