We will be showing the film "How many people can live on Planet Earth?" followed by a discussion and short meeting for Mortonhampstead Action Group for Sustainability. The evening is free and refreshments are provided.
The film:
In a Horizon special, naturalist Sir David Attenborough investigates whether the world is heading for a population crisis.
In his lengthy career, Sir David has watched the human population more than double from 2.5 billion in 1950 to nearly seven billion. He reflects on the profound effects of this rapid growth, both on humans and the environment.
While much of the projected growth in human population is likely to come from the developing world, it is the lifestyle enjoyed by many in the West that has the most impact on the planet. Some experts claim that in the UK consumers use as much as two and a half times their fair share of Earth's resources.
Sir David examines whether it is the duty of individuals to commit not only to smaller families, but to change the way they live for the sake of humanity and planet Earth.
Please just turn up at 7.30pm but if you'd like more information call the MAGS secretary, Katheryn Hope on 01647 441235.
