Answer to Question 1

World peace, medical advances, decreased infant mortality, lower speed limits, increased agricultural
productivity, law and order, clean air, and clean water.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:We
are not at zero growth; at the current rate, our population will still double in roughly 100 years. We
use a disproportionately large percentage of the world's resources per capita. We produce a
disproportionately large percentage of the world's waste per capita. Groundwater resources are
decreasing and so is the amount of farmable soil.
