Description
Summary:Facing one of the most dangerous conservation crises in history-acid rain-lawmakers, industry leaders, and activists embraced an attitude of civil engagement that sought common ground and acceptance of compromise solutions on all sides. As a result, they achieved a spectacular outcome. This approach was also at work when another planet-threatening event-ozone depletion-was reversed.
