Overpopulation Project

1. Birth planning of youth: Concern about overpopulation and intention to limit family size.
Fischer, Edward H. American Psychologist. Vol 27(10), Oct 1972, 951-958.m http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/amp/27/10/951/

I chose this source because it interested me in the angle of how to begin my project by explaining limits and restriction in how to began a nation from a drop like Easter Island devastation. This brief information speaks about how to bio diversily establish culture but as well limit options for family expansion such as over population.

2. Reuveny, Rafael . "ScienceDirect - Ecological Economics : Easter Island: historical anecdote or warning for the future? ." ScienceDirect - Home. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Feb. 2010.

-Referring back to my last Eastern Island entry, I have to say that I am highly pleased to really look forward presenting a Easter island type of project on how the U.S. country can outcome to a drastic ending. I feel reading this peer-reviewed source I can really take in lots of information and analyze it to the point of making a complete prediction.

Nathan Lewis Reflection

As in John's Environmental Science class we've been working on the study of becoming Eco-friendly. As the leader from the Lewis group performs his speech in front of many people, he happened to angle his view towards the issue of energy. To society, energy seems to be a taken for granted type of resource which we do not think about. yet, the truth is that energy is a scarce source when the whole world is polluted with lots of carbons.

Hearing Lewis' propose his solutions of how to conserve energy or loop-hole around energy issues, I started thinking of what I can do in order to support his beliefs. As I placed the statistics aside, I thought about his belief that if roads were energy efficient that the world would be in better hands, I strongly agree with that. If the road played an important part at all, most of the buildings an objects in life would have a purpose to fulfill causing a less complex world. We as a nation have thought of making the world a better place, but we were not aware about the certain fundamentals to follow in order to construct a Eco-friendly better place.

For renewable energy, Lewis stated that there would not be much opportunity to really get put into play. The reason behind that would be the fact until technological instruments are achieved to convert renewable energy for a cheap price, energy will not be a good resource. Something similar to Lewis' ideas, I strongly enforce that the nation for a change forget about to cost of the process, yet instead be encouraged to help for the sake of the world. Mr. Nathan Lewis is a really smart man, as long as he does what he does, sooner or later the world is bound to give in whether is a good time or a bad one.

Population Growth and Climate Change

Population Growth and Climate Change

Throughout our lives we had always experienced many smaller scale issues, for example increase in termites when a home is not clean and another time when we spill soft drinks on a table, then in couple of hours later we find ourselves with a horrifying trail of ants. In the globe we have found ourselves in an issue that will take deaths and murders of free for all to survive in a immorality condition. The population growth has put many minds in the notion to try to come up with a solution to lessen the growth but I believe that we are too far in...

"human population grew from 1.6 billion to 6.1 billion"

Finding this interesting stat in the "Scientific American", has displayed a interesting trail to thought, because how could this be a drastic change of then to the 20th century. But today I stand here knowing that the reason why the change took place because of the worries of the flaw of man education and the beginnings of technology. As the people from the beginnings (Our ancestors), weren't properly educated with the fundamentals of awareness and future expectancy, they must have felt okay living with a "Today" attitude and having children. Its not that it is a flaw to society, but in every generation before us, there was only much one knew and can do, as for us we had the technology extent to "think outside the box."

"More people means more demand for oil, gas, coal and other fuels mined or drilled from below the Earth’s surface that, when burned, spew enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere to trap warm air inside like a greenhouse."

Economically, the population growth changed the climate by having more busy bodies roaming back and forth around the world and making pit stops by releasing CO2. As well as demanding the source of oil, by burn of fossil fuels and polluting the air we breathe in. In the nation we live in complexity is the passion to solved, yet life can be simple if we weren't too attracted by the constant devotion to expand in technology.

"Educating women about birth control options and ensuring access to voluntary family planning services, women will choose to limit family size."

The answer lies above everything, as for past generations women lacked with the information of awareness of pregnancy and the options it limits one. As that experience marks a great example of growth and how far humans have gone with morals of keeping the family tree going and going forever. As for solving the issue over population made the climate change dramatically for a neutral direction by marking history but now putting human beings in a state of mind that there is only so much resources. As history marks a path of understanding and learning, its only best to move forward and cope with issues, than to pout and stay the same. Population growth wont' be able to controlled but its up to us, to get into the works of distributing enough resources for everyone.
