The cost of energy will continue to rise. Energy conservation, by reducing usage, will at least maintain energy costs. Energy management is an important part of the school food service manager's job. Guidelines are provided. (MLF)

The two major branches of economics, micro and macro, are developing conflicting theories on pollution and environmental quality which rest upon very different assumptions concerning the use of natural resources in our economic system.

Discusses various measures taken by the Atomic Energy Commission to cut down a nuclear power plant's lead time, including changes in licensing processes. (CC)

Derives a formula for the number of years a given resource will last as a function of constant yearly growth rates in the resource usage. Suggests such a calculation to account for environmental problems. (CC)

Reviews four contrasting theories bearing on the concept of the commons dilemma, which deals with conflicts of individual v group interests over time.
