'This earth is the only decent bit of real estate we've got..."
For a week now politicians from more than a hundred nations will gather in Stockholm for the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The Conference's intention is to get action where before there has been only talk.
Ecologist Gordon Conway gives his personal view of the significance of this by looking at the situation of six people in Britain - a farmer in Lincolnshire; a fisherman at Whitby; an executive at ICI, Billingham; a line worker at Fords, Dagenham; a housewife in Swansea; and an unemployed man on Tyneside.
What is happening, he argues, is that increasingly we are dependent on technology to get us out of trouble. But are we using it in the right way? The housewife sees 'a great wall' of industrialisation building up around her; the car worker, after his shift on the line, doesn't feel up to much else at the end of the day; and what has technology done for the man from Tyneside - except put him out of a job?
But then unemployment... job satisfaction... is that really anything to do with the 'environmental crisis '?
