As we begin to explore the preservation and efficient use of resources, we start with sustainability and the need for local and global cooperation. Every human on earth depends on the earth’s life-support systems for food, shelter, clean water, air, energy, and other resources. Increasing the human population intensifies our demand on these resources and the need to work cooperatively as a species to ensure everyone’s basic needs can be met.

How does the world population growth affect sustainability in the United States? Which countries show the highest population growth and why? Many programs provide food aid to populations in need of food around the world. In terms of sustainability, what are the pros and cons to these programs?
