commemoration of Earth Day 2000. International in scope, this scholarly

both historical and futuristic perspectives.

Sample topics include:

and conservationists (John Muir, Henry Thoreau, Gifford Pinchot, etc.);

the past 100 to 1000 years;

*       Descriptions of future conservation agendas;

*       Forecasts of the Earth's environmental/human health with our
children and grandchildren in mind;

*       Discussion of how technological advances (e.g. GIS) may impact the
environment in the future.

Articles may address any number of questions, such as:


*       How will recent cultural, economic, and technological changes impact
environmental/human health into the next millenium?

*       How will increasing globalization impact local environments?

*       How can developed and underdeveloped countries cooperate to insure a
healthy planet through the next millenium?

*       How can industry, government, and education cooperate to improve the
health of local neighborhoods?

*       How may recent interest in alternative medicine impact the
environment?

*       How may library and other information specialists help society find
environmental information to answer practical questions and solve local
environmental problems?
