DESCRIPTION:Post Carbon Santa Cruz film showing:   Al Bartlett on "Sustainability 101: 
 Arithmetic, Population and Energy"   Friday June 9th, 2006 7 - 9:30 pm.   
 Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange #503 1900 17th Ave, Santa Cruz. FREE.   
 Sponsored by Santa Cruz Live Oak Grange.    Join us for this informative 
 and often humorous talk by Al Bartlett. Free and open to the public. In 
 this DVD, Colorado University-Boulder Professor Emeritus Al Bartlett gives 
 his celebrated talk, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy: Sustainability 
 101". Bartlett, of the University of Colorado at Boulder physics 
 department, has given the lecture over 1,540 times since 1969. The talk 
 warns of the perilous effects of population growth and of growth in rates 
 of consumption of nonrenewable resources. Bartlett first delivered the 
 lecture in 1969 to explain the arithmetic of steady growth and to alert the 
 public to the consequences of rising human population and of rising rates 
 of consumption of nonrenewable resources. Since his first presentation in 
 1969, he has given the talk an average of about once every nine days. 
 Bartlett begins his talk with a striking observation: "The greatest 
 shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the 
 exponential function." His lecture includes examples of how the steady 
 growth of the human population erodes everything from natural resources to 
 democracy. During the presentation he describes the steady growth in 
 consumption of finite resources such as fossil fuels. He shows that when 
 such steady growth occurs, these resources are exhausted at an alarming 
 rate. Bartlett believes people have missed the warning signs of 
 overpopulation, and if humans don't move quickly to solve the problem, 
 nature will. Steady growth won't continue because at some point nature will 
 solve the problem through famine, disease and war, he said.\n
