Bio Capacity
Human consumption or Ecological Footprint currently exceeds the Bio Capacity of the Earth and is not sustainable. “If all seven (7) billion people on earth wanted to live a Western lifestyle, it would take four planet Earth’s resources.”
.
Population Growth
Explosion of Earth’s population from 1 billion to more than seven (7) billion in just the last 150 years! Statistics prove that
Education is an ethical way to have fewer people & less consumption stress on the planet.
.
Global Risks
Strong overlap between topics at Rescue the World.net and the World Economic Forum (WEF) report on global risks. Graphs of population, energy, CO2, and temperature increase show strong correlations, with sharp increases since the 1950s.

Climate Change and Hurricanes
Hard evidence of real temperature increase, from 1850 to 2015. New and unique charts showing a doubling of catastrophic weather events since the year 2000. Data on carbon dioxide levels rising sharply in the 1960s, causing similar steep temperature growth
.
Energy and Carbon
The direct correlation of increases in energy consumption and the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide. This mirrors Population growth, and the drive for economies to increase GDP, rather than focus on sustainability. USA and China as the carbon giants of today – 45% the world output combined.
.
Water Scarcity
A small amount of the Earth’s water is freshwater. There is a striking depletion of groundwater aquifers in many high population areas, like California, Florida, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Yemen, Libya, NE Nigeria … Water scarcity is linked to world conflict zones.
.
Food Production
Types of food production and their carbon footprint. Consumption of water for different types of food. GMO crops and the meaning of “roundup ready”. Statistics on megafarms and the food chain. Addictive sugar in processed food vs a plant & small fish diet.
.
Gross Domestic Product – GDP
Data on GDP by country and per capita, for the larger economies, and the countries with highest populations. Notes on global trade, capitalism, fiat currencies, and concerns about the Fed printing money.

Education and Rights
A dramatic correlation between Education of Women and (voluntary) sustainable Birth Rate Globally, per EPI Unesco.
– If
20% of women go to highschool, birthrate is 5 children.
– If
80% of women go to highschool, birthrate is 2 children.
.
Referral to Amnesty international for human rights information. A discussion of Wage Slavery, telling how wages of $1.50 / hour are used at garment, foorware and electronics factories. Labor is 0.5% to 2% of final product price, when sold in the USA / developed countries. Someone is getting RICH – just not the laborers.

Solutions
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

  • Ways to reduce your personal eco-footprint
  • Plant & small fish diet benefits
  • Donate directly to women’s education
  • Buy a carbon offset, if you fly on an airplane

THE BIG PICTURE

  • Support Sustainability tax & dividends to consumers; even conservatives do
  • Atomic power – the forgotten solution that can be a bridge to clean, unlimited Fusion power.
  • Human rights are a vital part of the path to a sustainable planet.
  • Tax the super rich: Here’s what they own.
.
.
Sustainability Tax:
Carbon tax, offset by lower taxes on sustainable choices; carbon dividends to consumers.
.
Conservative support for carbon tax and dividends. Ethical capitalism: global sustainability taxes and human rights in the global workplace. Tracking Bio Capacity as well as GDP.
