1-2 Population Growth• How rapidly is the human
population growing?– Exponential growth
(increasing at 1.3% each year)– Questions to think about
• Should we be concerned with the increasing world population size?
• What should be done to slow the rate of growth?
– Developed vs. Developing Countries

1-3 Economic Growth, Economic Development, Poverty, and
Globalization• What is economic growth?• What is economic development?
– Economic growth may be one aspect of economic development but is not the same•Economic growth:
– A measure of the value of output of goods and services within a time period
•Economic Development:– A measure of the welfare of humans in a society
– A small proportion of the population can own a large amount of the wealth in a country

1-4 Resources• What is a resource?
– Resource – anything obtained from the environment to meet human needs and wants
• What are perpetual and renewable resources?– Perpetual – a resource that is renewed continuously – expected to last as long as
the sun lasts– Renewable – a resource that can be replenished in a fairly short amount of time
(hours to decades) – forests, wild animals, fresh air…
• What are nonrenewable resources?– Nonrenewable – a resource that exists in a fixed quantity; can not be renewed
within a human time scale – Energy resources (coal, oil, natural gas), metallic minerals (iron, copper,
aluminum), nonmetallic minerals (salt, clay, sand)

How can we prolong the use of nonrenewable resources?
• Reduce • Reuse• Recycle• Refuse

Reduce
• Using fewer resources• Examples:
– Drive less (reduce consumption of gasoline)– Turn lights off (reduce consumption of
electricity)– Buy fewer newspapers (reduce consumption of
paper)– Use a refillable mug, instead of a single-use
coffee cup (reduce consumption of paper or polystyrene)
– What else?

Reuse
• Use a resource over and over again in the same form
• Examples:– Use an old soda bottle as
a water bottle– Use an old computer box
to store your “Star Wars” collectibles
– Use plastic grocery bags as trash bags
– What else?

Recycle
• Reprocessing a resource into a new product
• Examples:– Aluminum cans (recycled into new cans)– Paper (recycled into newspaper)– Plastic milk jugs (recycled into toys,
fencing, etc.) • What else?

Refuse
• Don’t use the resource altogether • Examples:
– Don’t take free samples that you won’t use (t-shirts, pens, lanyards, etc.)
– Don’t buy products that use non-recyclable or non-reusable materials
– Bike or walk, rather than drive– What else?
