What is sustainability?
 What
correlation (trend) do you see
between human population and natural
resource consumption? Hint: as
population goes up then…..
 Do you believe that the current lifestyle
of the US is sustainable? Analyze your
lifestyle; EQ: How would resources be
affected if everyone on Earth lived the
way you do?

Environmental Worldviews
 Planetary Management-humans are
dominate and decide how to best manage
the planet
Humans are in charge
There will always be more (unlimited supply)
Economic growth is good…always
Success depends on our ability to dominate,
understand and control nature
Technology will inevitably save mankind

Environmental
Worldviews
 Environmental Wisdom- human beings are
like other species and rely on the earth to
survive
Nature does not exist just for us; we need the
earth but the earth does not need us
Limited Resources should not be wasted
Some economic growth is good, other types are
not; encourage the good
Understand the earth to learn to live in harmony
with it; the more informed, the better our decisions
