Summary

Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon Ripley comments on the energy crisis and how it affects Americans' outlook on life. Ripley stresses that interdependence of all nations has made every environmental issue a common concern. The symposium "Limits to Growth" is highlighted in the article. This 1972 conference was organized around the United States publication of the Club of Rome's ground breaking report, "The Limits to Growth: A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankind," on the impact of human population growth of the environment.
