A Sustainable Timeline

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has just published a useful timeline that describes a number of important events that were pivotal in the global debate on sustainability. The timeline takes as it's starting point the publication of Rachael Carson's seminal book Silent Spring in 1962 and continues up to the present day with the release of Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Thankfully, it omits any reference to the debacle that was the "Live Earth" concerts. The timeline can be downloaded as a pdf from the IISD website link above.
