Reuse – Use it again! Recycle: Turn it back into the same item! Remanufacture: Convert it into something new Ecologists warn….. The world population is forecast to increase from 7 billion to 9.5 billion people within the next 30 years. Efficiency will need to be increased by a factor of 4 to 10 to remain within global carrying capacity. Does humanity have a carrying capacity and, if so, what is it? The human population growth curve is currently following an exponential curve or a J-shape”. Resource limitations and/or habitat degradation will force the human population curves to approach an upper limit - the carrying capacity, often symbolized as K by ecologists. * Limits to Growth and Human Carrying Capacity Enduring Understanding: Water and soil are valuable resources, which must be used more carefully as the human population grows. 2. Much of the current agricultural practices result in soil degradation and water pollution. Thus our food supply is unsustainable. 3. Nonrenewable energy resources will be consumed at some point, making the development of renewable resources very important. 4. Reduction in wastes through recycling, reuse and remanufacturing will become more important as the population increases. 5. Human populations import materials, making it difficult to estimate the carrying capacity of an area. K: Carrying Capacity The number of individuals a given area of land or water can sustainably support over time. The carrying capacity for humans is the inverse of the ecological footprint. Footprint vs Carrying Capacity The Carrying Capacity for Humans is the inverse of the ecological footprint. Review the definition of ecological footprint to check this! Limiting Factors Limiting factors are factors or resources that limit the size of a population. The population cannot grow larger because of too much or too little of a factor. Example 10 rabbits may live in a habitat that has enough water, cover and space to support 20 rabbits. if th
