  1. Unit 2: Population and Migration EQ 1: Are there too many people in the world?

  2. Bell Ringer Do you think there are too many people at Kenwood, in Chicago, in Illinois, in the US, in the world? Why?

  5. Read the following statements and move to one of the signs posted The Earth can support seven billion people now and will be able to support any number of humans in the future.

  6. In an effort to feed a population of seven billion, people in developed countries should reduce the amount of meat they eat

  7. Arable land should never be used for housing, businesses, or other non-agricultural uses because we need all available farmable land to produce food.

  8. In a real crunch, jobs are more important than environmental quality

  9. If China and India can each take care of over a billion people on relatively the same size land as the U.S., then the U.S. should accept immigrants until it reaches a billion people as well.

  10. Governments in countries with fast-growing populations should make laws to limit the number of children that couples can have.

  11. All high schools should be prohibited from distributing contraceptives to students under the age of 18.

  12. Even though I am only one person in seven billion, I still have a responsibility to keep the Earth healthy; what I do makes a difference.
