Description
Man, vastly increasing in number and continuing to exploit his natural resources, has altered the quality of his environment until it is in danger of becoming unfit for human life. The reversal of this trend must begin with the formulation of a management system that encompasses the total cycle of man's environmental manipulation — from the extraction of raw materials and the production of goods to the eventual disposal of those goods. This paper describes how environmental quality can be managed on a large scale and outlines the methods for implementing this management through the total-system approach.
