On Population Growth

The earth is growing. We all know that. China's economy grows at near 10% in a "global recession," India and Brazil have city upon city with million upon million of citizens. The developing world we call it. Because the average citizen is still striving to buy the first family car or computer. HOLD UP . If you believed me when I said the earth was growing then you fell for my trick. Here is where sustainability comes into the mix. Human-kind is growing. The earth is not. Keep that in mind.

I ran across a video on one of my favorite mind enhancing websites, ted.com. Hans Rosling speaks about the growth of the population from 1960 to 2010 and through 2050 (10 billion people).




Favorite quote: "I am a possiblist."

I will probably continue my thoughts on sustainable growth tomorrow.
