Human activity has modified or disturbed ____% of the earth’s land.
73%27% remains intact and undisturbed. However the number is always decreasing.

Sustainable Society Manages its economy and population size without exceeding all or part of the planet’s ability to absorb the environmental insults and replenishUse only what is needed and replenishes what is taken

Earth Wisdom
Learning as much as we can about how to sustain the earth

Population Growth and the Wealth Gap
Types of societies and the differences this has on both population and the environment

Population ExplosionAlthough the global population rate is between 2-5%, the consequences of an increasing population of billions of people has become a key issue in many areas hand has lead to some countries having reproductive law to decrease population growth.

MDC = More Developed Countries
A country whose standard of living is similar to the USIndustrialized or post-industrialized societiesWhich countries can you think of that fall into this category?
![Page 14: General Ecology and Population Issues](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681683f550346895dde0eff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LDC—Less Developed CountriesCountries that have a much lower standard of living than the US or at least most of the residents have this lower standard of living. Can you think of countries that fall into this category?

What caused these jumps in population?

Population ChangeFor the Planet: Births – Deaths = population changeFor a country: Births + immigrations – (deaths + emigrations) = population change

NPG and ZPGZPG = Zero Population GrowthWhat is the birth rate for zero population growth?NPG = Negative Population GrowthNegative population growth can be achieved by decreasing the birth rate to less than 2 per woman of childbearing age or increasing the death rate.

Pollution
Any addition to air, water, soil, or food that threatens the health, survival, or activities of a living organism

Types of PollutionNumber of people x resources x environmental degradation = environmental impact

Two sources of pollutionPoint Source—the source is identifiable Can you think of examples of this?
Nonpoint source—sources are general and not readily identified. Can you think of any of these?
