Action notes: Earth Policy Institute to close

The Earth Policy Institute, a leading think tank founded by global environmental leader Lester Brown, announced today that it intends to close its doors at the end of June. Brown, whose career has spanned more than half a century working on global environmental issues, plans to retire at that time. “After careful consideration of my life at 80 years,” said Brown, “and with profound appreciation to my staff, collaborators and supporters, I have decided to step down as president of the Earth Policy Institute and end its work as of July 1, 2015.”
