The Unit 3 quiz is a debate. Each student will write a brief position paper on the quote below. Take a position, pro or con, and defend it. This should take the form of a brief essay supported by the readings for this unit and your own opinions and research.
Quote:
“We are using 50% more resources than the Earth can sustainably produce, and unless we change course…” we are headed for trouble.
Jim Leape, Director General of the World Wide Fund for Nature International (formerly the World Wildlife Fund).
Submit your position statement in the space provided below before the end of the unit (i.e., before the Zoom session begins). The second part of the quiz is to participate in the debate during the Zoom session. Your grade for the quiz will be based on both requirements and be given on a Pass/No Pass basis.
Readings for the assignment are attached. The reading on Population and Resource Management/7 Revolutions is only the first 6 pages. Pages 1-6 are to be used for this assignment only.
