Session 1 - March 7 morning (dube: orientation, geography)

You both bring up great points. It's interesting to see how birth rates can affect climate change in positive or negative ways. More people means more man power, but more people means a bigger carbon footprint even if measures are put in place. Less people could help to lower the carbon footprint, but we all know that many politicians' are about maintaining a thriving economy regardless of the risks. It's definitely a tough situation to be in...

That's a great point. I remember that it really fascinated me when we had our first session and Clay went over the geographical makeup of some of the countries. And I also agree with you that great conversation can start with our students about how population density happens in certain parts of the country. To add to that it would be great to discuss how this population density and even geographical composition can have numerous affects on the socio-political makeup of that area as well.
