In recent years, we have seen a string of devastating natural disasters-- the earthquake in Bam, Iran where 43,000 people were killed, the Indian Ocean tsunami, the recent flooding in Europe, and the hurricane currently wreaking havoc in North America.  Is it time to put more focus on the environment?  Send your comments to David and Renate at: ICEA2000@aol.com 

Thanks very much for your time.
