Develop three scenario overviews relating to global population growth

Read "Taking the Long View: Scenario Planning Puts the Future into Perspective" from The Rocky Mountain Institute Newsletter, Fall/Winter 1995. I attached A PDF version of this article This article will introduce you to the concept of scenario planning. • Develop three scenario overviews relating to global population growth -- one disastrous, one hopeful, and one complete wildcard (the reading will explain about wildcards). Cite the environmental impacts of each scenario. Be creative. Be brief, but provide enough detail so that your scenarios represent well-thought-out future possibilities

Elimination of DDT

Can you help explain the pros and cons of the elimination of DDT at the local level. I also need help explaining it at a national and global level?

Ecolog and The Environment

Can you discuss the positive impact of removing styrofoam from the environment on a local level (ie. positive effect on my neighborhood)? and then the positive affects nationally and globally? Are their any negative effects?

Organic Foods

How specifically does consuming organic vs non organic foods decrease global warming? Specifically how does consuming organic foods positively affect the local ecosystem. Is it this simple? ? I am assuming that by eating organic foods, you are eliminating the use of chemicals and pesticides. In doing this you reduce contamination of the water table and thus maintaining your ecosystem. Also can you explain how nitrogen is involved in contaminating the water (I am confused by this) Also by eating locally produced organic food you reduce the consumption of fossil fuels associated with food distribution and production. Can you specifically explain how this occurs?
