Educating the World's Future Environmental Leaders
The Environmental Literacy Council is an independent, non-profit organization made up of scientists, economists, and educators striving to connect teachers and students to balanced, science-based resources on the environment.

- What are you working on right now?
I have a new book out through RFF Press called Perspectives on Sustainable Resources in America which updates readers about the current challenges involved in managing America’s natural resources, especially in light of the increasing emphasis on sustainability and ecosystem approaches to management. Other topics I've been working on lately include cellulosic biofuels, avoided deforestation, and transgenic trees.
