Notes

• Complexities of environmental problems result in controversy.  (e.g., How much dioxin can be released into the river?)‏

• Look upstream where complexity is low.  Focus on cause or principle rather than details or issues down stream.  (e.g., Living organisms can't handle dioxin.)‏

• Build consensus on fundamentals that are accepted by all.

• Diverse parties can work from shared framework and common language.
