Global warming clouds our future. Pollution degrades our air,
soil and water. Environmental toxins compromise the health
of our children. Misuse threatens the sustainability of our
forests, fisheries, wetlands and coasts, and the health of
species that live there.
But there is reason for hope.
Through sound science and policy research, we're finding
answers to these problems. Airborne lead and acid rain have
been dramatically reduced. Industrial water pollution has
decreased. Habitats are being preserved.
Faculty members from the Nicholas School of the Environment
and Earth Sciences at Duke University are part of the effort
to help find these answers and establish new environmental
practices and policies to safeguard our natural resources
for generations to come.
