This is the first in a series of five videos about the connections between Covid 19, human population growth, our economy and the environment . From an ecological perspective, this video explores some of the ways human activity exacerbates Covid-19 and introduces, what I believe to be the connector between these divergent topics, exponential (sometimes called geometric) growth.
Exponential Growth 2: The Nature of Exponential Growth
This second video in this series focuses on the connection between exponential growth and human population.
Exponential Growth 3: Patterns in Nature
Exponential Growth 4: Resource Depletion
This video explores the connection between exponential growth and the effect of an ever expanding population and economy.
Exponential Growth 5: Environmental Quality
This video looks at the issues we’ve been discussing and suggests some positive paths forward. Thanks for watching!
