How do we know we have population-environment problems? A journey from simple models to multiple points of engagement to contribute to change.
People consume resources and pollute the environment, so the more people, the more environmental problems we have–right? Not so fast!
In this interactive workshop you will disturb that simple model. By the end you will be mapping multiple points of engagement through which you contribute to change in your particular circumstances. Along the way, you will consider how people marshal scientific knowledge to persuade others of the seriousness of the population problem, how inequalities among people qualitatively alter how “we” respond to the title question, how you can bring in social considerations to explain or interpret the directions that are taken in science, and how you can work with a perspective of being partly and jointly responsible for what is happening in society and the environment.
