The Earth's population grows by about 200,000 people every day. That's roughly the population of Eugene PLUS the population of Ashland PLUS Grants Pass thrown in as well. How long can we keep this up?
That's the central question of environmental journalist Paul Hanley's book , a reference to the 11 Billion people who may occupy the planet by the end of the 21st century.
He's got some ideas about how to slow and reverse the growth. He shares them at the Medford library tonight (June 24) and in our studio today.
