Oct 18th

.
We met Will Newman. I was very impressed by his speech. He was very knowledgeable about issues surrounding farmers and sustainability. One of the things he said and I kept thinking about was increasing population. I read in “Omnivore’s dilemma” that without synthetic fertilizer billions of people would never have been born, and synthetic fertilizer is the cause of environmental damages such as acid rain and global warming (p43). We reached this much of population by damaging Earth. As Will Newman says, “Human being is the worst disease on this planet,” we’ve been devouring this earth until nothing will be left. The continuous increase in population is going to kill us sooner or later.
