Abstract
The writer of this paper explores the negative effects and consequences of the recent population explosion, which include overcrowding, hunger, pollution, deforestation, global warming, crime and the loss of nature's bio diversity. One of the biggest obstacles, due to the increase in the population, is the depletion of the world's fossil fuel resources. The writer stresses the need for stricter environmental guidelines as well as birth rate control regulations. This paper defines the earth's depleting fossil fuel as a broad term for three sources of energy: Petroleum, natural gas and coal. All three were formed millions of years ago during the age of dinosaurs, hence the name fossil fuels. The energy comes from decomposed plant and animal matter. Once these fuels are depleted they cannot be renewed. This paper examines the benefits to the environment in utilizing renewable energy as an alternative to the earth's dwindling fossil fuel reserves. The paper also details various environmentally sound strategies that would aid in preserving the earth's remaining resources.

From the Paper
"Fossil fuel is a broad term for three sources of energy: petroleum, natural gas, and coal. All three were formed millions of years ago during the age of dinosaurs-hence the name fossil fuels. The energy comes from decomposed plant and animal matter. Energy Quest, a major educational service on the World Wide Web describes the origin of fossil fuels: When plants and dinosaurs and other ancient creatures died, they decomposed and became buried, layer upon layer under the ground. It took millions of years to form these layers into a hard, black colored rock-like substance called coal; a thick liquid called oil or petroleum, and natural gas. Petroleum and natural gas are extracted from deep deposits below the Earth's surface."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of recorded population growth and then discusses the negative impact that the exponential growth will have on the environment and human living conditions. The paper explains how population growth contributes to poverty, hunger, and increased energy consumption. The paper urges the reader to take action now to curb the negative effects of the drastic population growth.

From the Paper
"Does the idea of power in numbers apply to the issue of population growth? The current population growth rate in the United States is an estimated .975% in 2009. That would mean that there would be nearly an additional three hundred thousand people each year. With an immense increase in the population of one country alone, what could the impact of population growth rate of other combined countries do to our planet? Many argue that with a growth in numbers, our resources would be depleted at a quicker rate than they would be generated. This world phenomenon would create a pathway leading to world hunger."

Abstract
The paper addresses the question of whether the world's energy resources are becoming scarce with the impending increase of the human population. This paper analyzes the current energy resource uses, provides calculations of energy output and compares them with each other. A background of the various energy resources is given as well as an introduction to Nuclear Energy. Fission/Fusion technology is also brought up throughout the paper. An explanation of the Fission/Fusion theory is provided on how this renewable resource works.

From the Paper
"With man's leap into technological advances, one would think that the boundaries are endless. The human race has allowed to progress for over hundreds of thousands of years. Especially in the late centuries of history, mankind has excelled immensely in achieving technological success. From the discovery of electricity, to the creation of the internal combustion engine, modern society has come to a time where ceaseless change exists in everyone's lifetime. Everyday man takes another step into the ladder of intellectual evolution. These advances still cannot guarantee happiness among society. For all of these things are dependent on one thing, energy. Energy is needed to maintain life in all things, from the plants of the Amazon forest, to the fuel burning inside of a Toyota Camry. Without it, all living things would cease to exist, including the humans who created this ever growing technology. One might speculate that with the extreme rate at which the population is increasing, all the resources on earth would become scarce. But an energy crisis is hardly anything for a person to worry about, for humanity has taken a step into the discovery of nuclear power."

Abstract
The paper describes community interactions between and among species that affects their continued viability. The paper then discusses how human activity and population growth alters global resources and other fundamental ecological elements of the biosphere far beyond the ability of any other species. The paper paints a picture of how humans contribute to the depletion, destruction, erosion and other dramatic changes to the ecological environment that are detrimental to nonhuman species, as well as to future generations of human beings.

From the Paper
"In principle, the relationship between population size and the environment is very simple and equally direct. Living organisms consume natural resources to provide for their energy needs. The specific mechanism through which they accomplish this vary substantially: some organisms consume other living organisms; some consume only other organisms' waste products, or scavenge their left-over consumables; still others manufacture their energy by synthesizing energy from sunlight and elements occurring naturally in the gaseous atmosphere."

Abstract
The paper relates that in the twenty-first century, renewable energy will increasingly displace non-renewable energy as humanity's primary source of power. The paper believes that the combination of non-renewable energy's technological and engineering maturity, plus market pressures on fossil fuels, will make renewable energy an irresistible option for individuals, industries, and governments. This paper highlights the current applications of renewable energy and explains what makes this new source of power so attractive in both current and future circumstances.

Abstract
This paper explains that Energy Medicine is based on the concept that there is an energy system operating within the human body, and the manipulation of this energy system can assist in maintaining physical health. The author says that there is a correlation between quantum physics and energy medicine: the belief that matter and energy are the same thing and because of this whatever is good or bad for one part of the body is equally good or bad for any other part of the body. The paper presents in detail the various modalities of Energy Medicine. The author includes writings of experts such as Gary Zucav.

From the Paper
"Energy Medicine is based on the concept that there is an energy system that operates within the human body. It is believed that the manipulation of this energy system can assist in the area of physical health. Supporters of energy medicine hold that energy and matter is the same thing; and if energy and matter are the same thing than every part of the body is connected to the other parts of the body. Energy medicine dictates that the mind, body and spirit are interconnected and thus if one part is effected all the parts are effected. This is very different from traditional medicine, which believes that the body is a collection of parts and that the mind and body are separate. "

Abstract
This paper studies the effect of female literacy on population growth. Using the 2SLS model, this paper establishes a negative relationship between the two. A comparative analysis of the two states of India, Bihar and Kerala, reveals the same trend. However, the paper brings out the subtle differences in the social ethos of these states. The paper distinctly establishes the dominant role of female literacy in population control and recommends suitable priorities to public policy planners

From the Paper
"The past decade (1991-2001) has been a watershed for India in more ways than one. While this decade saw the boldest economic reforms in India's history making it possible to emerge from the Hindu Rate of Growth, the decade also witnessed the sharpest decline in population growth (2.52% points, See Chart 1) coupled with the sharpest increase in female literacy (14.87% points) since Independence. A somewhat similar feat was achieved by the Indian State of Bihar for the period 1991-1997 where it registered a high literacy growth with the sharpest expected decadal decline in population growth (1.68% points) . Unfortunately, after 1997, unprecedented political instability led to the State slipping on these indices so much so that it finally registered a dismal performance on both the fronts of female literacy (lowest in the country) and population growth ( 2.8%, which is higher than the national average of 2.1%) for the entire decade (1991-2001) taken as a whole. An exceedingly good performance in this area (both at the national level and the State level) has prompted me to explore whether literacy (particularly female literacy) carries a more direct bearing on population control than other methods such as mass media campaigns, family planning, and sterilization."

Abstract
This paper illustrates the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in dealing with global environmental issues, using Bjorn Lomborg's "The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World" as the primary source. It looks at how Lomborg uses a vast array of issues, such as human welfare, pollution, population growth, economic growth, energy, chemical fears, and biodiversity, in order to refute a wide prevalence of many of the more popular, ostensibly grave and foreboding, environmental myths of today.

From the Paper
"Ironically, however, the ban on hunting, obviously passed in the hopes of preserving wildlife, actually led to the destruction of the herds as a result of the fact that it allowed the elephant herd to become over populated, subsequently causing the beasts to trample and destroy its own habitats. Taking a similar event from a dramatically different perspective, however, in regard to the protesting stand that a prevalent portion of the collective NGO community has taken regarding whaling, it simultaneously becomes apparent, with especial regard to the actuality of sea life diminishing, that the NGO community is involved in a righteous battle (Andresen, 2001)."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Segway personal transportation device is a significant improvement over other types of devices that attempt to do the same thing, i.e. safely and quickly transport the human body on short distances where a car is simply to much of a bother or unnecessarily harmful to the environment, but where simply walking is out of the question for time and energy purposes. The paper also looks at the creator behind the device and how the Segway is popular among security and law enforcement populations as well as golfers and also people who are disabled and unable to walk long distances but still able to stand.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Segway's inventor has a long history of electronic and engineering marvels, who took significant risks to gain acceptance in developing his ideas. One of his most remarkable feats was at the age of 16 landing a boring job building light boxes for a demonstrator, he gained access to the New York Museum of Natural History and secretly built them a new light box system for their planetarium, after already having been turned down when he requested the job. Once his creation was complete, a creation he completed using $80 dollars in parts he purchased from Radio Shack, his only remaining wages from the boring job he had just quite, he strong armed the director of the museum into coming and taking a look at what he had done.
