The Washington Post calls Lester Brown "one of the world's most influential thinkers."The Telegraph of Calcutta refers to him as “the guru of the environmental movement.” In 1986, the Library of Congress requested his personal papers noting that his writings “have already strongly affected thinking about problems of world population and resources.”PLAN B UPDATES
Since 1996, global carbon emissions have leveled off. The burning of coal, the most carbon-intensive fuel, dropped 5 percent in 1999. The next step is to reduce carbon emissions across the board. Abandonment of the Global Climate Coalition by leading companies is partly in response to the mounting evidence that the world is indeed gettingwarmer.

All good things must come to an end and that is true of the Earth Policy Institute. We closed our doors on July 1, 2015. This website will continue to remain live, but without updates, for years to come. Plan B is a plan to replace the fossil-fuel-based, automobile-centered, throwaway economy with a new economic model. Instead of being based on fossil fuels, a Plan B economy will be powered by abundant sources of renewable energy: wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, and biofuels. Read more...
