Description: Examines the ruination of the earth's natural resources due to the growth of cities and highways and considers steps which can be taken to halt further deterioration. Explains that lowlands which replenish the underground water supply are being filled in, lands located near cities which were once used for farming are now considered too valuable for cultivation, and forests are being leveled to facilitate construction. Suggests that, with total land-use planning and population control, human needs can be met without further destruction.
