    Wow, Tam! What a fascinating bunch of growing statistics.... Even if the numbers are a little off, still very thought provoking.

    Thanks for that!

    I'm with Richard - they are scary figures and growth rates...

    Excellent find Tam.

    Worrying

    That is very very disturbing. The population and environment numbers are espcecially worrying. But is there anything we can do about it that would make any realistic difference?

    Tread as lightly as we can. Grow as much of our own organic food or buy locally, minimise demands on unsustainable power, use kitchen clothes that break down such as steelo wool and cotton, buy recycled loo paper, install solar panels, ride a bike or use public transport, plant trees, spread the word, teach others, avoid highly packed food, turn lights off, build a solar cooking box, invest in a composting toilet, save seeds, engage your local community, recycle, invest in green energy, lobby the government, use vinegar or other naturals to clean with instead of chemical cleaners, use grey water for the garden, install a water tank, etc. Readers of this list probably do many of these things already, but there are always other things we can do to improve and it all makes a difference.

    Hey Fee,

    The list is a great idea. How about starting a new thread with your list so anyone who wants can add something. At the end we can print it off and use it as a source of reference whenever the opportunity arises.
