Dick Smith's Population Crisis The Dangers of Unsustainable Growth for Australia

By Dick Smith

In 2011 the world's population exceeded 7 billion. Each year we add nearly 80 million people and by mid-century we will require twice as much food and double the energy we use today. Australia will be deeply affected by these trends - we have the fastest growing population of any developed nation.

These facts set Dick Smith on his crusade to alert us to the dangers of unsustainable growth. He challenges the long-held myth that growth is good for us by offering ways for us to re-invent our economy, to reassess the way we live and to at least slow down that ticking clock.
