Podcasts about population connection

Population dynamics are deeply connected to environmental sustainability and social justice. That's the message of Pam Wasserman and Hannah Evans from Population Connection - the oldest grassroots population organization in the U.S. Highlights include: The origins of Population Connection and its evolution from ZPG (Zero Population Growth) to a broader mission addressing the intersections of population, environment, and social justice; How their K-12 education program trains thousands of teachers annually to teach students the importance of population dynamics within the broader issues of environmental sustainability; The connections between population growth, resource consumption, and climate vulnerability, and how addressing reproductive health and gender equality is key to mitigating these challenges; Insights into the challenges of discussing population in today's polarized political climate and how depopulation panic gets in the way of meaningful dialogue; The impact of global partnerships and advocacy efforts, including family planning initiatives and tackling patriarchal norms for the sake of community empowerment and environmental protection.  See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/hannah-evans-pam-wasserman ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance executive director Nandita Bajaj, researcher Alan Ware, and expert guests that draw the connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, social inequalities, and ecological overshoot.

John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection, describes how his organization provides education, advocacy and small loans to assist people in voluntarily achieving their family planning goals. Rather than think about a total population, we need to think about how we want to live, how we want others to live, and the resources required for our lifestyles. A population of 2- billion, rather than 8 billion, would be more sustainable.   Best practices in family planning have three key elements  that vary in composition and impact: education for women and girls; access to a full range of reproductive services and changing social dynamics so that women are key to any family planning activities  Studies show that the GDP may decline as population drops, but the per capita GDP will rise. The Social Security crunch could be alleviated by raising the earnings cap. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and UN population conferences are critical to help educate and inform people about family planning services.  

Despite mainstream media coverage of China's population peak, a declining population can have real benefits. Join us as Hannah Evans from Population Connection explains.

Today we interview Hannah Evans, Senior Analyst of Population Connection, about stabilizing the world population at a level that can be sustained by Earth's resources. We'll talk about the dangers of unchecked population growth, the connection between sustained growth and women's rights, and how Population Connection plays a role in driving long-term solutions. To support Population Connection and discover more ways to help, visit: https://populationconnection.org/To learn more about the show, view transcripts, and more visit:https://www.actsofimpact.comSpecial thanks to Hannah and the Population Connection team.

“The great under-discussed factor in the climate crisis is there are just too many of us, and we use too much shit.” Comedian and social critic Bill Maher said it well. Yes, our profligate lifestyles have a big carbon footprint. And if they do, then the number of footprints makes a big difference, and it is undoubtedly “under-discussed.” So, in this episode, we discuss it. We also give a big shout-out to Jane Garvey and Anna Lacey of BBC Woman’s Hour. Their radio program/podcast is a gleaming (and rare) example of mainstream media treating the overpopulation topic from an informed perspective, with integrity. Link below. Plus: Don’t you think the One Planet, One Child Billboard Campaign is worthy of perhaps $1 billion of support from the new $10 billion Bezos Earth Fund? If you bump into him in the steam room, let him know.

Our mission is to chart a path for human civilization that – rather than causing greater misery – enables good lives on a healthy planet. We advocate and support a smaller, truly sustainable human population – through dramatic and voluntary reduction in birth rates.  We envision a world where no one suffers in dire poverty and misery for lack of enough food, water, and other basic needs. We see a world where all species thrive and where lower consumption and population are in balance with Earth’s finite resources.

We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more. Today's guest is Hannah Evans of population connection and we're discussing how the growing number of people on the planet have affected and will continue to affect global warming and how global warming will affect the human race. The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values.

Offering insights and guidance from prominent academics and journalists, The Good Crisis: How Population Stabilization Can Foster a Healthy U.S. Economy -Population Connection: 2016- takes on one of today's most pressing challenges: keeping our aging population healthy, productive, and prepared for today's technologically-focused jobs. At the same time, today's youth must be prepared for productive futures through education, skills training, and delayed parenthood. Dispelling anxieties about the impact of slowing population growth on Social Security, commerce, and society, this collection of essays presents innovative and practical solutions to issues from labor shortages to fossil fuel dependence. Backed by extensive research and real-world examples, The Good Crisis presents a path to a more productive, sustainable world. Tune in as we talk with John Seager, one of the book's authors and President and CEO of Population Connection.

On this episode Broad Topics Radio don't miss our panel on "Parenting Children with Special Needs". Joining host Laura Nickerson are Gina Vivona and Kate Movius, both mothers of children with special needs, and Dr. Laurie Stephens from Education Spectrum (www.edspec.org). Also joining the show are Luly B, author of "Balance is Bull$h!t" (www.lulyb.com) and John Seager from Population Connection (www.populationconnection.org), plus Body Language Expert Mark Edgar Stephens (www.markedgarstephens.com) calls in to give tips on how to project confidence.

John Seager is the President of Population Connection, formerly Zero Population Growth. Since its founding in 1968, Population Connection has been America's largest grassroots organization dedicated to the question of overpopulation. Prior to his work at Population Connection, John worked for the EPA and in congressional politics. Population has been a regular theme in The Conversation but has not been well developed in previous episodes. John remedies that. He also argues that overpopulation results primarily from gender inequality and a lack of access to affordable contraception—education and affluence matter, but they are secondary to equality. Combatting overpopulation is often thought of in centralized and draconian terms, but John feels that population levels will naturally plateau if individuals are allowed to freely choose the size of their families. Does this make you think of the Constitutional questions discussed in Roberta Francis' episode? Early in The Conversation, Alexander Rose mentioned his concern that a declining population could threaten our economic system. That question surfaced again, albeit in a slightly different guise, when I spoke to John Fullerton about the challenge of decelerating the economy—though we did not talk about population decline, it's worth asking if our appraisals of corporate value assume a growing population.  Seager also gives us another perspective on the ideological purity and social pragmatism discussion that Neil and I had at the end of Gary Francione's episode. Like Francione, Seager is a moral realist in certain areas—gender equality being one—but he also embraces incremental change and makes a case for the word "opportunism." Are purity and pragmatism a false binary? Are they equally effective (or ineffective) modes of achieving social goals? Micah, Neil and I will talk about this more at the end of the episode. One last connection to leave you with: Robert Zubrin. Zubrin claims that overpopulation is a false concept and that, with sufficient freedom and creativity, we can support ever greater populations. Does this make him at odds with Seager? Or does Seager's emphasis on individual freedom and choice make his ideas compatible with Zubrin's? We don't know.

Feature #1: The Dust Bowl (start time 6:53) As bad as the drought has been recently in Colorado and other states, it pales in comparison to the nearly 10-year-long drought of the 1930s. Its unrelenting and gargantuan dust storms inspired the name “The Dust Bowl.” In southeast Colorado and other Great Plains states, children died of dust pneumonia. Thousands of cattle died or were slaughtered. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes. It came to be called “the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history.” On November 18th and 19th PBS will air a four-hour documentary called “The Dust Bowl.” It was directed by Ken Burns and written and co-produced by author Dayton Duncan. How On Earth co-host Susan Moran talks with Duncan about the film and the lessons learned --or not learned -- from The Dust Bowl. Feature #2: Zero Population (start time 15:58)  John Seager, CEO of the nonprofit Population Connection, discusses with How On Earth co-host Ted Burnham about the organization's efforts to help American citizens and politicians understand the environmental and other implications of the ever-expanding global human population. John will speak this Friday at the CU campus in Boulder. His presentation is titled, “Soaring Past 7 Billion: Population Challenges for a Crowded World.” Hosts: Ted Burnham and Susan Moran Producer: Susan Moran Engineer: Maeve Conran Executive Producer: Jim Pullen Listen to the show:

Shrinking the world's population is one way to curb global warming, according to some environmentalists. To make that happen, women need to be in control of their own fertility. But those perspectives are very controversial. On this edition: how environmentalism can lead down a slippery slope to population control, and even anti-immigrant policies. Can an emerging movement for ‘population justice' save our planet while respecting women's rights? Special thanks to Mary Wohlford Foundation for funding this program.
