soil resources. Global pollution problems are increasing in almost all nations. There is an urgent need to use our vast

needed new development problems. These teams must include economists, engineers and a broad spectrum of scientists.
Today it is possible to produce clean energy, stop soil erosion, clean water and reduce and use wastes of many types.
