Description: What will Earth’s population be in 2050? When will oil, coal, and other fossil fuels run out? How can we improve everyone’s health? The Environment Challenge series answers these and many other thought-provoking questions. It explains the pressure that population growth and unsustainable development are putting on the planet’s resources and the environment. There is a particular emphasis on challenging readers to think "What would you do?” case studies and ideas for further research, and advice on how to think critically about these complex subjects.

This book looks at our reliance on fossils fuels, the benefits and limitations of renewable sources, and how we can use energy more efficiently.
