The next Sheffield Humanist Society meeting will be "Population 101 - An introduction to global population dynamics" with Mike Freedman, director of the documentary Critical Mass (http://www.criticalmassfilm.com)

The world population is projected to rise from today's 6.8 billion to 9.15 billion in 2050. Mike Freedman will look at the converging environmental crises of the 21st century: population, economics, consumption, food production, water distribution and social behaviour

Global population growth is a key factor in environmental sustainability alongside consumption and technology but it is rarely if ever acknowledged; why is this? We will look at the problems it causes and discuss how through voluntary means such as improved reproductive healthcare, female empowerment, sex education and socio-economic development, a truly sustainable society can be achieved.

The meeting will start at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday 2nd March at the University Arms, 197 Brook Hill, Sheffield, S3 7HG

The University Arms is close to the tram, get off at the Sheffield University stop, and several buses pass nearby including 51 & 52, stopping almost next to the pub, with 94 & 95 a short walk away. Parking is available in the streets behind the pub.
