If you look at the following web page:
http://info.lu.farmingdale.edu/~acce/accenews/may95/may952.html you will
find that Mark S. Brody writes:
"Ironically, the phrase Think Globally-Act Locally dates back to the early
1970's; about the same time that our profession formalized its beginnings.
The phrase was originated by Rene Dubos at the time he served as chairman
of the group of experts advising the United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment. "His purpose [in this phrase] was to convey his conviction
that, while all environmental problems have global aspects, sweeping
statements about them can hardly be converted into action". In a 1979
article published simultaneously in Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal,
Dubos suggested that "global consciousness should begin at home". The
phrase is now a registered trademark of the Rene Dubos Center for the Human
Environment. "
But then you never should believe all you read on the web ...
