The financial problems begun on Wall Street have now impacted the world economy, from the Fortune 500 giants to small non-profits. Earth Ministry is one of those non-profits. This issue of Earth Letter presents several perspectives on our situation. Beyond Earth Ministry related articles, Desmond Tutu and James Leape present the current state of action to address global climate change, and the Union of Concerned Scientists discuss the economic and environmental impacts of factory farms. In our final article Bill McKibben comments on former Earth Ministry staff member Mike Schut’s latest book. All of these articles help focus our individual efforts as we each seek to build a just and sustainable future in these trying times.
