**SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WEEK**
= **[|How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth?]** BBC =

In a Horizon __special__, naturalist Sir David Attenborough investigates whether the world is heading for a population crisis.

[]

=== Finish watching the video and post 5 interesting/alarming facts that you learned while watching it below: ===

Amine :

1) A cup of coffe requires in reality 120 litters of water. 2) According to Dr Molly Brown, there's no more land to produce more food, but that is an emergency, so the solution is to raise the productivity. 3) 10% of the world's coral reefs are dead. 4)According to the documentary, the way we treat our environment determines how many people the eart can sustain. 5)Energy demand is predicted to increase by 40% over the next 2 decades.

Julia: 1. We will have to double the amount of food to sustain the increasing population, as soon as possible. 2. The increasing of the population due to the number of the earth population which is more than three times than there is 50 years. 3. A lot of species in the world are under threat of extinction. 4. In coming 20 years, half of the population of the earth will miss water to __live__. 5. There is a big problem with oil.

Nicolas : 1) 70% of the earth is composed of water. 2,5% is fresh water and only 1% is available for human. It is a fact that we must consider for water's problems .   2) For produce a cup of coffee and bring it on your __table__, we use 120. For a beer it is 150 L. For all the hamburger ( bread, meat...) it is 8000 L. 3) Investors from Great Britain produce food in Etopia. After they they bring back this food whereas Etopia is depend on humanitarian aid.  4) In 1979 China permitted only one child by couple for reduce the growth of the world population. It still in place today. 5) In 1970 India organized a big campaign of sterilization. The government sterilized men in exchange for money. It was a failure because only men with 4 or 5 children came in hospitals whereas India wanted sterilized men with 0 or 1 child. In 1977, 8 millions of men were sterilized.

The earth population has grown from two billion to seven billion in less than a human life. The nine billion should be reached in the mid of the century. All data already recorded are stored in a unic place, at United Nation in New York The important growth is mostly explained by the amelioration of the health ans the development of drugs. The estimated forecasts were made thanks studies made for the NASA. To raise productivity, various ways have been studied : just as the utilisation of stallite pictures.
 * Félix :**

Yohann : 2 more people meet life every second 1 billion of people have a lack of access for water population grows in all world, but not in Germany for example, where people live longer and longer (paradoxe?) a beer needs 150 liters of water to be made we already use 40% of earth land, but we would need to double this surface in coming years

Julien (w/glasses) : World population is increasing by approximatively 200 000 peoples a day. A third of the amphibians are near extinction. USA consumes about seven times more ressources than africa in terms of productive bio capacity. Researchs has shown that actually the earth can't stand more than 15 billions people, but if we were all consuming resources like UK, USA or so-called developped country, the earth couldn't supply resources to more than 2 billions people. There are 3 ways to reduce our impact on earth. We should stop consuming so many ressources, change our technology and reduce the growth of our population.

Vincent: 1) We'll be more than 9 billion in the middle of this century 2) Two people born every second, whereas only one die every 7 second 3) In the next century more than 35% of the world population will starve and parch 4) On the other hand, the amount of water on earth never changed 5) Births in Rwanda are not controlled

Marie: 1) Over the ten thousands years, has been very little change, but from 1800 there is a very large increase from one billion, up to seven billion today. 2) Food production can not increase as fast as human reproduction 3) Desalanisation is extremely expensive, uses a lot of energy and can damage the sea 4) Today we use about 85 billion of energy a day 5)If all the humans concum the same, the earth can sustain about 15 billion people

Florian
1/ As soon as possible, we will have to double the amount of food to sustain the increasing population, by raising productivity because there are no more lands to expand to. 2/ If the global population lived the way British do, we would be 2.5 billion people on Earth. For the American way of life, then we would be 1.5 billion people on Earth. 3/ To support our current way of life in the next few years, it would require 1.5 planet Earth. 4/ The ‘water forest’ around Mexico City is one of the only way to more than 8 million people to get water. 5/ Many species in the world are under threat of extinction; for instance, one fifth of mammals and one third of amphibians are endangered today.

Olivier 1-not enough food for so many people on earth 2-humanity has to reduce his impact on earth 3-1/3 or amphibians are now in danger of extinction 4-the demand in energy will be increased of 40% during the 20 coming years 5-150 liters of water needed to produce just one beer

1/ In order to reduce the human population, we need to educate people. We can see that in Kerala,south of India,where most of the woman are well-educated and they are willing to have smaller family. 2/According to Sir David Attenborough,the humanity needs to reduce the impact on the Earth. 3/ The 3 methods that he suggested are ; stop consuming so many resources,change our technology and reduce the growth of the human's population. 4/The China government had implied the "one family one child"'s law in in 1979 in order to reduce its population.The chinese people manage to reduce their population. 5/In sub-sahara country, the government introduces the family planning policy.They educate people by explaining the program and introduce the contraception technology.
 * Hafiz (3 CGP)**

Léo
1/ It's always been the same amount of water on the planet 2/ We appropriate about half the whole available fresh water in the world to serv our needs (energy, transforming deserts into fields) 3/ Within the next 20 years, as much as half of the world will live in a sitation of water distress 4/ Energy demand is going to increase about 40% over the next 2 decades 5/ According to Sir David Attenborough, there are 3 ways to reduce our impact on the planet : we can stop consumming resources, we can change our technology, and we can reduce the growth of our population.

Alexandre

 * 1) it needs 3000 liters of water to produce enough cotton to make a shirt
 * 2) in the last 40 years the aral sea in central asia had lost 90% of its water
 * 3) in the 20th century the industrialization manage to triple the farming production
 * 4) Borlaug receive a Nobel Peace Price in 1970 because he allowed many countries to be self-sufficient in food by using science to improve agriculture productivity
 * 5) the competition for scarce resources in Rwanda lead to a genocide between the two major tribes the hutu and the tutsi and caused a million dead in three months


 * Hu Nai Fu**

One beer needs 150 liters water. There is no more land for agriculture. We have to increase the productivity. The population of India will go past the population of China. But the population of Japon is sinking. We face an oil problem. 1/5 of mammals, 7/10 of plants are under threat of extinction.


 * Julie**
 * 1-** For 10 thousand years, the number of humans on earth remains equal but the last 60 years it has tripled. We are now 7 billions on earth.
 * 2-** There is such an augmentation because we can now control the death rate:diseas like malaria have now nearly dissapeared.
 * 3- E**ven if the number of people has increased a lot during theses last years, life has become better and easier for a lot of us.
 * 4-** Within the next 30 years, it's much half of of the world's population who will live in area of water's stress.
 * 5-** A cup of cofee needs more than one hundred litres of water just to produce it and bring it to home.

1) Reducing birth rate is very difficult to achieve without a simple piece of medical technology: contraception 2) Some main water ressources are rain and not rivers 3) During the record of this program, the population has increased by another 9 thousand people 4) Energy demand is predicted to increase by 40% over the next two decades 5) Only 48 298 people watched this video
 * Arnaud**

1) increase of 40% of the energy demand predicted for the next two decades 2) in 1800 around 2 billion people lived on the Earth 3) a lot of species in the world are threaten of extinction 4) there are about two births per second while the mortality rate decreases significantly 5) every day we are wasting billions of liters of water while entire populations lack of it
 * Chloé**

In the next 40 years, India will overtake China to become the most populous country in the world Until 2050, Afgahnistan's and Sub Saharian Africa's populations will double, Nigeria's population is expected to more than triple Food production can't increase as rapidly as human reproduction 2,5 liters of water are daily consummed by a human being It is possible to distill fresh water from the sea but it is extremely expensive and uses an enormous amount of energy
 * Séverine**

1. The tropical forest is disappearing (which can be a problem with the prodution of oxygen) 2. Plastic wastes are polluting the planet 3. We could recycle water as astronautes are doing, drinking the same water molecule more than a 100 times. 4. Lake Trad in south Sahara is now only 10% as big as it was before. Let's notice that more than 30 000 000 people depend on it. 5. Water shortages will lead to food shortages, as we need water for the agriculture
 * Clotilde**

1 The increase of the world population in the last 2 centuries 2 Indian population will overtake the chinese population 3 In space because of the lack of resources, they developed technology to optimise the human needs 4 1% of the water on this planet is actually availiable to human kind 5 we always talkabout lack of oil and foget about the lack of water.
 * Guillaume**

=
5- Paradoxical situation in Ethiopia which provides food for many countries but depends on international aids in order to feed its own population ======

**Julien** (the other one)
1/ The population has increased as never before in the last century and it is still growing. 2/ It raises the issue of the lack of resources to sustain everyone. 3/ Developed countries consume way too much. 4/ We have to react about the lack of water and stop wasting it as we often do. 5/ Meanwhile, many species in the world are in danger and threatened of extinction.

1) How many people can live on planet earth? It is composed of 7 billion people and the earth population is constantly growing. 2) According to David Attenborough, Human population density is a factor in every environment problem from urban sprawl to urban overcrowding. 3) There is no more water on the planet than there was when life first appeared on Earth. 4) Most of 32 million Indian inhabitants of the south-west of India live off the land and the ocean, a rich tropical ecosystem watered by two monsoons a year. 5) In 1977, the Indian politicians decided to punish every crime by sterilization. For example, if a person travels in a train with no ticket, he was taken for sterilization by the police officers. In 1977 alone, around eight million people were sterilised.
 * Alp Ergen:**

Bastien 1 A can of beer uses 150 litres of water 2 The production of a cotton shirt requires 3000 litres of water 3 Population on earth has remained lower than half a billion for the previous 100000 years. 4 Some families use less than the content of one bathtub in one week 5 More than a billion of people don't have access to drinking clear water
