Working together, making the smallest changes in our lives, we could toss some feathers down there to try and stop the ball however the effort is ultimately pointless. What we really need to do is to go to the people who dropped the ball and get them to stop cheering it on. The ignorant public need to be trying to…

The world population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050 according to United Nation and along with it is the concern for sustainability (1). As big as the earth, there is no doubt about its limited carrying capacity; after all, it is a planet with finite space and resource. Historically, population growth is often considered to be beneficial economically since it increases market size, labour force, consumption, inventions and innovations.

During the next hundred years world population increased by half a billion and finally known an incredible growth in the last century going from 1.5 billion people in the late 19th century to over 7 billion in the early 21 century.

Technologies are assimilating human existence to an economic model which has nothing to do…

Even though many people ( mostly Yankee fans) laugh at me for still believing in them, I do believe that they have a good chance to win another world championship.
