16. This image of Earth was created using data from four different satellites. It shows fires burning on land areas (red dots) and a large aerosol cloud over the Atlantic ocean formed by the burning biomass in Africa. It also indicates dust and cloud cover around the globe. Satellite data and images such as this one are beginning to give us a more comprehensive view of the Earth's interrelated systems and climate.

17. Consequences of population growth and overpopulation State of the human population Degradation of the environment – Loss of soil – Decrease in natural resources Global warming Species extinction ** Local issues

18. Species extinction Due to: – Loss of habitat – Global warming – Overharvesting – Pollution

19. Local issues

20. Space Water availability: – If water is a limiting issue (Utah is a desert state), what will happen with increased populations? Population issues

21. Local issues Air quality Water quality Food quality There are increasing levels of toxic chemicals in the air, water and soil (  food) triggering many chronic diseases such as asthma, cancers, lung diseases, birth defects

22. What can we do? Save Recycle Insulate our house Use bike if possible Carpool Use local foods Etc …. Lobby our law makers for: - better laws to protect the environment - promote alternative energy - promote public transportation - etc……
