few people we know would question that in 1962 with about one sixth of earth's land and less than 1/16 of the world's then population 0f 3.1 billion(today 8 billion) usa was a benchmark for human progress
but recently weher has the us been in helping Un on agennda mattering to the younger half of the worl who want to be the first sustainability gen not the first extinction gen
