• Worldwatch’s highly respected, clear analysis for each trend
• Presentation-ready charts and graphs that can be customized
• Excel spreadsheets that allow data manipulation for instructional and comparative purposes according to personal or organizational needs

Worldwatch is slated to launch this new subscription service by fall 2009.

"Vital Signs...provides the most straightforward and reliable environmental, economic, and social information available on the entire planet Earth. Vital Signs delivers...facts illuminated by contexts and interconnections, often revealing causes of the problems, and pointing the way towards solutions that work."-Michael Pastore, ePublishers Weekly

For a limited time, you can read newly updated 2009 trends as well as purchase full individual trends and datasets released last year. This offer will end when the new system is launched later this year.
