|
|
| posted on Friday, August 22, 2008
|
|
I am often asked if the Olympic village -- the vast restaurant and
housing conglomeration that hosts the world's top athletes for the
duration of the Games -- is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My
answer is always the same: too right it is.

Over the past two or three decades, scientists have noticed with
growing alarm that vast stretches of coastal waters are turning into

creatures, if any, can survive there. In 2004, the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP) took stock of the phenomenon -- which is
caused in large part by agricultural runoff -- and pronounced it one of
the biggest environmental problems of the 21st century. Two years later

larger crisis looming directly ahead? Might humankind suffer someday
from “Civilization Collapse Disorder”? And how must we change our
human hive in order to ensure its survival?
