Shrinking Spaces: Population Growth and the Environment
Grades 9–12 Using AIT Products ■Road Trip to Kenya,program 2, “Ecological Issues” ■The Voyageur Experience in Global Geography, program 3, “Greece: Urbanization and the Environment” ■Global Geography, program 1, “South Asia: Why Are Forests Disappearing?”
Overview In the year 2000, some crowded cities had over 10 million inhabitants and our planet had approxi-mately 6 billion people living on it. Many people predict that by the year 2050, the world popula-tion will reach 9 billion. The number of people on Earth, where they live and how they live, will have a tremendous impact on the environment. In this lesson students will investigate the prob-lems that are associated with high population growth rates. Students will also explore what people are doing to cope with overpopulation.
Objectives • Describe the impact of population growth on the environment.
• Describe how cities affect their surrounding environment.
• Explain how cities are handling growth and its resulting effect on the quality of life.
• Develop possible solutions for problems cre-ated by population growth.

Planning Notes Arrange students in work groups to complete the activity on Days One and Two. Groups of four to six are best.
Time This project will take about two or three 60-minute class periods, in addition to homework and extension activity time.
Procedure—Day 1
Introduce Topic: World Population Explain to students that during the next few days they will be exploring population growth issues. Use a projection device to show students the World Population and the U.S. Population clocks that are available from the U.S. Census Bureau. Facilitate a discussion around the following questions.
• What impact do you think human population has on the environment and the availability of natural resources?
2
• How do you think population growth impacts the quality of life?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of increasing urban growth?
Have students complete the Ecological Footprint Quiz atwww.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp. Then discuss students' results. Ask the following questions.
• How do humans impact the environment?
• Do you think the United States impacts the environment more or less than other coun-tries?
• What would happen if everyone in the world had a lifestyle similar to that of the students in the class?
Pre-Viewing Activity Show students Kenya on a world map and explain that Kenya has a very large population, which is growing rapidly, even by standards for developing nations.
Have students visit the CIA World Factbook Web site atwww.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ geos/ke.htmland read the information posted about Kenya. Ask students to record the follow-ing information on a chart.

As a class, carefully examine this data and spec-ulate how an increasing population is impacting Kenya.
Video Cue program 2 from the seriesRoad Trip to Kenyato approximate time code 01:44, after the introduction. PLAY through time code 03:66, after the farmer stops talking. Ask the following questions after viewing the video.
• Why is there a battle for land use in Kenya?
• How is human population growth affecting Kenya's environment?
Tell students that many groups and organiza-tions in Kenya are working to address the eco-logical issues that have arisen due to population growth. Cue program 2 from the seriesRoad Trip to Kenyato approximate time code 06:24, after the students arrive at the Taita Discovery Centre. PLAY through time code 07:37, after the employee from the Taita Discovery Centre stops talking. Ask the following question after the video.
• What is the Taita Discovery Centre doing to help communities grow and prosper without destroying the habitat?
Activity: Cause and Effect Have students re-examine the table they created with the information from the CIA World Factbook and consider what they learned while watching the “Ecological Issues” video. Ask stu-dents to create a cause-and-effect chart that shows the effect of population growth on Kenya.

“We must alert and organ-ize the world’s people to pressure world leaders to take specific steps to solve the two root causes of our environmental crises—
exploding population growth and wasteful con-sumption of irreplaceable resources. Over-consump-tion and overpopulation underlie every environmen-tal problem we face today.”

Procedure—Day 2
Introduce New Topic: Greece Show students Greece on a world map and have each student state one fact s/he knows about that country.
Have students visit the CIA World Factbook Web site atwww.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ geos/gr.htmland read the information posted about Greece. Ask students to record the follow-ing information on a chart.

Explain to students that the ongoing settlement of land in Greece has had many negative envi-ronmental impacts. As a class, carefully examine this data and speculate how urbanization is affecting Greece.
Video Cue program 3 from the seriesThe Voyageur Experience in Global Geographyto approximate time code 14:15, after the students eat. PLAY through time code 15:54, before the students get on the subway. Use the following questions to spur discussion after the video.

• How is rapid urbanization affecting Greece?
• What are the primary sources of air pollution in Athens?
• How does air pollution affect the ancient ruins?
• What are people in Greece doing to decrease air pollution?
“. . . [D]emocracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot sur-vive it. Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people into the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It doesn’t matter if someone dies. The more people there are, the less one individual matters.”

—Isaac Asimov
Activity: Cause and Effect Have students re-examine the table they created with the information from the CIA World Factbook and consider what they learned while watching the video “Greece: Urbanization and the Environment” Ask students to create a cause-and-effect chart that shows the effect of population growth on Greece.
Pre-Viewing Activity Show students Nepal on a world map and have each student state one fact s/he knows about that country.

10:03, before the video fades out. Discuss answers to the following questions after the video.
• For what purposes do people in Nepal use forest resources?
• What role does population growth in Nepal play in the disappearance of forests there?
• Why did the father and son need to spend so much time gathering wood?
• What are some of the other consequences of deforestation in Nepal?
• What are people in Nepal doing to slow down deforestation?
Activity: Cause and Effect Have students re-examine the table they created with the information from the CIA World Factbook and consider what they learned while watching “South Asia: Why Are Forests Disappearing?” Ask students to create a cause-and-effect chart that shows the effect of popula-tion growth on Nepal.
Project Tell students to select one country, other than Kenya, Greece, and Nepal, and research how population change in that country is affecting its environment. Ask students to use the informa-tion they collected while conducting research, as well as information they collected during class, to create a multimedia presentation that describes the impact of population growth on the environ-ment. If students have access to spreadsheet soft-ware, have them create tables and charts that show data about the population in the four coun-tries. This presentation should also include possi-ble solutions to environmental problems that have been caused by population growth. Give students the opportunity to share their presenta-tions with the class and discuss their proposals to alleviate environmental problems created by overpopulation.
