General overview

If we examine the geopolitical, cultural, and environmental challenges we’re facing, and trace these problems back to their origins, it eventually becomes clear that they haven’t just “happened”—we created them. In our quest for a better quality of life, we made growth a mantra, consumption a duty, and waste an afterthought. The seismic cultural shift that occurred as a result led to an explosion of economic growth, but this success has come at a price. We can no longer ignore the basic facts that stand before us:

Global Rise of Population: In 2011, the world population reached 7 billion. Increasing by about 70 million people every year, the world population has doubled in the past 45 years and is projected to reach 9 billion by mid-century. Rapid population expansion has serious consequences for the planet.

Resource Depletion: Renewable resources are being exhausted at an alarming rate and non-renewable resources are growing more difficult to extract and more expensive. The end of affordable fossil fuels combined with deforestation, soil depletion, and water scarcity will present major challenges in the years ahead if we do not make more aggressive efforts to conserve natural resources and develop alternative sources of energy.
