《Blue Planet Prize》 Environmental conservation is one of the most pressing of the global issues humankind faces. Global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion, tropical rainforest destruction, and river and ocean pollution are just some of the results of human activities that are having adverse affects on the Earth. In 1992, the year of the Earth Summit, the Asahi Glass Foundation established the Blue Planet Prize, an award presented to individuals or organizations worldwide in recognition of major contributions to solving global environmental problems. The Prize is offered in the hopes of encouraging efforts to bring about the healing of the Earth’s fragile environment.
Detailed material of the each Blue Planet Prize laureate is available on our website shown below.
Dr. Brown has provided deep insights into the most important issues facing the world for decades. We are lucky to have his perspectives. I hope an pray we will collectively act on his keen awareness to address the climate crisis and improve our use of energy and land. We need to move to a greater percentage of plant foods to avoid overusing our natural systems. stop insulting the environment with huge feed lots, toxic runoff, overuse of antibiotics on livestock, and clearing land just to make unhealthful hamburgers for fast food.

The planet may survive. I think of earth as the living planet which given we are in the sixth mass extinction, species dying 1000 times the rate of the Permian extinction, and given the 450 nuke plants that will fail when the food supply goes, and given the climate could tank everything, and given humans have caused all this we should be very proud for our achievements. God bless us all. Very informative. Learned a lot. Thanks
