- 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.
