Inspirer of Earth Day Dispels Environmental Myths

Here are seven new rules to live by, by Stewart Brand, who put the first picture of the planet on the cover of his "Whole Earth Catalog" in 1968:

1. It's the climate, stupid.
2. You can never not do just one thing.
3. "Let them eat organic" is not a global option.
4. Frankenfood, like Frankenstein, is fiction.
5. "Green" energy hasn't done much for greenery — or anything else.
6. "New Nukes" is the new "No Nukes."
7. We are as gods and have to get good at it.
