One Planet, Many People - Excellent Teaching Tool

A link to this website was emailed to me - thanks. This appears to be an excellent resource for anyone teaching or studying Environmental courses (economic or otherwise).

The site includes images, powerpoint slides, interactive maps, a news section and much more.

Check this out. I have also added it to the sidebar.
