New book boldly addresses the global reality of too many people, not enough resources
Weve all come to be aware of the dangers of global warming with the movies and lectureshow could we not? But this is not the only global issue; our planet is currently overpopulated with over 6 billion people, a number that will rise to 55 billion in 40 years. What is there left to do with a continuing failure of governments to reach agreements on combating this issue and without a rapid solution in sight?
In Growing Pains: A Planet in Distress, author and activist, Valorie M. Allen of Population In Sync presents to us this timely and relevant analysis of a global epidemic overpopulation. She examines both the facts and implications without all the unnecessary jargon so that the reader is left with a strong inside knowledge of where the human obsession with growth has come from, and how it is destroying our planet.
Valorie Allen will:
Discuss the meaning of overpopulation and how is it affecting our resources.
Share her Population Report Card, identifying which countries are doing better than others.
Expose the myths and taboos preventing humanity from dealing with this devastating crisis.
Report the contributing factors and provide a host of solutions on how to address overpopulation.
Give hope and logic, exploring the major issues confronting global stability and a sustainable lifestyle.
Valorie Allen has spent the last twenty-five years working with environmental groups and won the Canadian Volunteer Award in 1994. With its global relevancy, Growing Pains received an honorable mention at the Paris Book Festival in May 2010.
Her book provides plenty of facts and data, but it does much more than that. Val Allen has written a very readable book on a very serious subjectEarths human population in overshoot. — Dr. Madeline Weld (President, Population Institute of Canada)
