DNA will grow more complex with space travel
Article Abstract:
The complexity of DNA is expected to become more complex by the next millenium. Advances in the biological sciences and in the physical sciences are expected to happen at an even faster pace than during the first half of the 20th century. Economics has allowed technology to flourish, including the capabilities to clone living organisms. The late 1990s has seen advances in genetic engineering and it may be soon until such technology is tried on humans. Intelligent computers may soon be developed and such advances are likely to change our political, economic and social landscapes.

Greening the North: a post-industrial blueprint for ecology and equity
Article Abstract:
Affluent nations must be made aware of the importance of ecology and equity. Traditional environmental policy has been centered on the struggle against the ill effects of air, water and soil pollution. The focus of these policies should be the promotion of sustainability by developing strategies that will allow nature and social justice co-exist harmoniously. Superpower nations should realize the need to lessen the consumption of finite resources and materials to lessen the output of industrial waste.

Wasting time is an ecological virtue
Article Abstract:
The Machine Age gave birth to the idea that human motion is destined to accelerate at an ever-increasing speed and that power over time and space is power over nature. However, the destructiveness of such power in the last 100 years reveals that slowing down is necessary for a sustainable future.
