Task #8 (part#2)

  1. What factors have contributed to population growth? – Death rates, education, female labour market participation
  2. What has been the impact of human population changes? – In some parts of the world like India, they have that sterilized vasectomy so they can not get the females pregnant again, in China they are only allowed to have one child but if the first child is a girl they are allowed to have another child
  3. How does Lauren Singer live a zero waste life? Why could or couldn’t you follow in her steps? – She makes her own beauty products also she makes her own body health products such as deodorant, toothpaste, etc. She also bought most of her groceries in bulk and tried not to use any plastic. She used her left overs that can not be eaten and put them in a decomposing place in her house which after it decomposes she puts in her garden which there she grows her own vegetables. she also hardly ever ate out. I do not think I could ever live a zero waste life because I do like treating myself to eating out sometimes and when me and my family go on trips we tend to eat out because wherever we stay does not have our own kitchen area where we can make our own food. I also do not like homemade beauty products especially homemade deodorant and toothpaste because i have tried it before and i do not like it.
  4. Investigate the life cycle of an everyday item that you threw out today. How much waste are we creating everyday? – We all create so much waste everyday. It is actually quite sad seeing how much waste we create sometimes and also when people do not use the garbage can all the time and litter our environment.
  5. Discuss the amount of waste Bert Fox school produces every day. How much waste do schools in Sask produce? All of Canada? –
