7.6 Billion and counting... by Mr Smith https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl If there is an increase in the world's population from 7.6B (2018) to 11B (2100), what issues will arise en-us 2018-05-10 22:33:15 UTC 2025-12-16 20:50:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Projected world population 1850-2050 str1 https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806254 What's the impact on the world?]]> 2018-05-10 22:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806254 Meat Consumption https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806494
  • A larger population leads to a higher demand for the same meat.
  • The average world earnings of people has increased 
  • Meat has become cheaper and easier to produce, export, and import
  • Lifespan has increased, so the demand for meat has increased.
  • The awareness of good meat
  • Meat has become more affordable
  • It has become more of a delicacy.
  • Quality/Quantity of fish is getting lower?

    - Foods being out of season and needing to import them which costs money. 

    - It would be difficult to prevent this from happening with fruits and vegetables because certain foods can only grow during certain seasons and we can’t help that. 

    - The government should be passing laws which say something along the lines of sharing the food and crops with people who aren’t as well off as other people are. 

    - A lot of people throw out a lot of their food everyday, as well, so if people stop doing that, or even cut down on doing that, it would mean they wouldn’t have to buy unnecessary amounts of food to replace the food they wasted.

This means if we continue to use trees faster than we can plant them or replace them we will eventually run out of paper and trees so we need to reduce the amount of paper we use by recycling all the paper we use and using all the space and use as much space on the page as possible. We can also use more tree-free paper and less paper based materials and use substitutes instead.

Pollution and over fishing also causes more stress on the marine life.]]> 2018-05-10 22:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806678 Meat Demand https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806679
  • Yes, Meat consumption will continue to increase because of an increasing world population.
  • Yes, unless people realise what is happening and start to eat insects instead and save the world.
  • Yes, because there is still a growing middle-class population.
  • Yes, because people are living longer meaning their consumption of meat is increasing as well as the demand.

  • An increase in meat consumption would cause global warming to continue to happen, due to gases released from farm animals, and the processes used to harvest their meat.
  • A decrease in meat consumption would be beneficial to our planet in many ways. People should consider eating bugs because they are much easier to produce and harvest, and cost less money to maintain. They also have a smaller environmental impact.

Insect meat is also cheap to produce and import. The barrier preventing mass insect farming is simply that people are too spoilt.]]> 2018-05-10 22:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806751 Dead zones https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806754 The major issues that have caused dead zones are feces, greenhouses gases, pollution and overfishing. These things are all caused by us therefore meaning we are the reason marine life is dying. Dead zones are harmful for marine life as they are essentially suffocating the fish due to the decrease of oxygen in the water. ]]> 2018-05-10 22:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806754 Are we simply being too spoilt?? https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259806806  Some may question if our survival is a priority and in order to live a comfortable middle class life we should do what we need to do. Many of the resources however that we use in order to go about our city lifes are completely unnecessary for survival and are simply acts of preference. These acts could be easily reversed and if humans could survive in normal conditions and habitats without creating resources that spoil them then maybe  our natural resources could be spared and and the ecosystem would remain strong enough to house organisms other than humans. Are we being utterly selfish and absorbed in our smaller lives and personal preferences that we aren't seeing the bigger picture that will affect younger generations?

The remaining majority of  water that isn't fresh is saline and  ocean based. Ocean water of course is not drinkable for humans due to the high salt levels that humans cannot gain nutrition or hydration from. Only 1% of our 2.5% provided freshwater is easily accessible.  With humans constantly polluting water and as the population increases will humans have enough water to survive and will animals have the opportunity to survive. Our pollution due to the industrial revolution, greenhouse gases and other man made population consequences are causing the animals surrounding us to die ]]> 2018-05-10 22:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259807008 Dead zones https://padlet.com/str1/m44foiuax6zl/wish/259807133
  • 70% of the world’s surface is made up of water and only 2.5% of that is fresh water. 1% of the 2.5% is available for us to drink as the other 1.5% is trapped in glaciers and ice caps.
  • Over half of the world’s tropical rainforests have been cleared in the past 50 years which is home to most of the biodiversity on Earth. 
  • There won’t be much or any marine life left. Not just marine life will die but also mammals because the death of marine life will mess up all the food chains.

    By weight, honeybee larvae have 850% more iron than beef.

    Palm weevils have twice the amount of fat than pork.

    Crickets have more salt than any type of meat.
