History of American Environmentalism: In Forcing the Spring, Robert Gottlieb offers a biased history of American environmentalism that focuses on the need to change from conservation and preservation of natural resources and wildlands to increased efforts

Abstract: 1999, the Worldwatch Institute's 16th annual report on "progress toward a sustainable society," begins where Gottlieb leaves off, that is, with a prescription for a sustainable economy. The primary components of the model are subsidy reform, tax reform, regulatory reform, global cooperation, industrial innovation, and grassroots support. This 5 page paper examines the two viewpoints and concludes with the argument that de-centralization is at the mercy of the centralized organizations already in place and even more at the mercy of the governmental forces. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
