-As you can see the United States consume toughs the most after Germany

-The wealthiest countries consume the most.

-The wealthier countries are in massive need of the cash crops(bananas,sugar,)

-Countries even the US has to clear land to start raising cows or planting, farming to produce.

-The us holds a 5% of the the global population and yet they consume 40% of consumption and resources and emits 21% of carbon  dioxide .

-They also state even though the US isn't the most populated they consume the most.

-Another site people and planet states that at this rate we are putting alot of pressure on the companies who are producing masses to take measure to find a faster way to produce.Which can lead to messing with ecosystems with damaging results.

-from 1972-2011 2.5 billion food sources are needed more now than ever.

-As our population grows means more jobs to create and more ideas to be created.

-That leads to human daily activities can affect and destroy 11% globes arable land(size of china and India combined)

-Farmers will then have to feed 77 million more people with 27 billion fewer tons of topsoil.

-by 2030 60 billion people will live in towns in cities.

environmental health-Growth population

After watching the growth population video it opened my thoughts and making me wonder and Adding thins up. How it's affecting every aspect of life of how overpopulated we are getting. After watching the other videos I can realate them to one of the reasons is we are over populated that 1. We forget to take care of our enviroment. 2. It's affecting our animals 3. Food shortage 4. Global warming  its scary how how world was made for humans yet one day we won't be able all to fit. So I looked up more inforamtion about this problem. This article that was written 2002 by Anup Shah (bhttp://www.globalissues.org/issue/198/human-population) it breaks it down in sections I will briefly explain. They state that one day we will be fighting a war against nature. Here's the main topics they explain:
Population And Feeding The World
• food is becoming scarce it's geting more expensive to purchase food.

Stress On The Environment, Society And Resources?

• Especially when considering that "[g]lobally, the 20% of the world's people in the highest-income countries account for 86% of total private consumption expenditures - the poorest 20% a minuscule 1.3%", according to the United Nations Development Programme's 1998 Human Development Report.

Other Issues Affect And Get Affected By Population

•the bigger our population gets we are also being affected health care being affected food more expensive it's affecting everyone individually.

Pregnancy

The video of NOVA was the most amazing progress of the process of a pregnancy. I'm a mom and I just knew the basic phrase a man and a woman make a baby. Then nine months later here comes the baby. But now I know the true understandment of the whole process from day 1 to its last days. It's incredible how one sperm goes through alot to get to the egg. How that fetus progresses over the months. How a woman's body has to prepare itself for this process and how humans are the ones who have the most difficult birth than animals. I'm thankful that now I'm informed more than I was pregnant. Now I know what it takes for if I ever get pregnant again in future I know what my body is going trough day by day.

No bullying allowed!!

I was introduced to this video in class. "Bully" you can rent the movie and also purchase it online. Here's the link -->http://www.thebullyproject.com/, a little more about this movie it's a documentary and reality of teens that face challenges at school and In their community. Simply because they are differ and are bullied. The victims were tyler who sadly committed suicde after a long battle of bullies harassing him and attacking him. Then there's Kelby who is gay and her community doesn't accept her and she is the center of humor. Then theres Alex who gets pushed around and down talked. All this victims at points communicate with their parents and the concerned parents aware the school and sadly no one does nothing. That's why the movie was made to aware the world that it's a problem and it's going on. The link above also is the main site to all the organizations who support to speak up against bullying. They are supported and support other bullying campaigns. This movie was we opener I have a son and it worries me becuase society has certain expectations of how people should be and look like. But it's not a relaity and these bullies make It known. I don't want my son to face these challenges if he doesn't for this "criteria". These poor parents couldn't help their kids and worries me that I won't either. I just honk the government should step in and make an effort and enforce regiulations. This is endangering kids life's at school making them not feel safe. I just think the way things are going my son isn't safe.   Hers some stats found on dosomething.org

Stress and Psychological health

Rule #8: Stressed brains don't learn the same way.

After reading this section and watching the video I truly gained much knowledge. I'm that person who stresses so much and I think I never stop and try to fix that problem. The post taught me that I need to give my brain a break and how our brains can only handle 30 seconds of stress and isn't meant for long stress periods. I want to fix that because by me fixing that problem I will benefit and so will my son and my husband. I need to have control of my stress so I can let my brain relax and be healthy :)... A for the movie it helped me know how I can fix that! By aerobics, simple workouts 3 times a week will increase a long happy life. Also decrease my risk of having altimiers and living a Long life. That the benefits of exercise can do alot to a brain too!!! I defintly will take this great knowledge and advice forever!!!!
