COVER STORIES, Page 40RIO: SUMMIT TO SAVE THE EARTHSummit to Save the Earth
What kind of planet will our children inherit? Will they have
room to roam, air to breathe and food to eat? Will they ever see
an eagle flying free or enjoy the solitude of a pristine
mountain lake?
Those are among the larger questions on the agenda of an
extraordinary meeting of more than 100 world leaders and 30,000
other participants in Rio de Janeiro beginning June 3. The
central premise of this unprecedented Earth Summit is that
environmental problems can no longer be solved at the national
level. Will the countries represented in Rio -- notably the U.S.
-- show the courage and vision and leadership necessary to
protect our planet for future generations? The answer is not
certain, but there is some hope.
