OFFICIALS, our nation has developed an enormous enthusiasm for the use of scientific technologies in the solution to public problems. We implicitly turn to the fix as a solution to many social and economic problems. Recently this enthusiasm has been focused upon our urban scene in a seeming desperate hope that technology can somehow help us break out of the apparent pathway to social disaster we amble along. With less hope, I suspect the converts to ecology also implicitly hold largely technological solutions to the fouling of our world; somehow science must find a way to re-establish our resource balance while at the same time maintaining our level of creature comforts
