“If the world’s population were reduced to 100, it would look something like this…”
The information comes from the website:
www.Miniature-Earth.com
Students have found the presented images and
statements fascinating.
The text that originated this movie was published on May 29, 1990 with the title, “State of the Village Report.” It was written by Donella Meadows, who passed away in February 2000. Nowadays Sustainability Institute, through Donella’s Foundation, carries on her ideas and projects. The Miniature Earth project was first published in 2001. Since then, more than two million people have seen this website.
The statistics have been updated based on specialized publications and mainly reports on the world’s population provided by different resources like UN publications, PRB.org and others. Bear in mind that these are only statistics and consequently, changes might occur after a few months or only after years.

From what year are these particular statistics? We are doing comparisons over time and would like to be able to correctly enter the year they represent. Thanks!

Recently retired, primarily middle school, after 43 years! My entire career has been in Westport, CT. It was terrific to go to work each day, knowing that the students would be receptive to the lessons. My major driving thought came from the book, Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman, where she at one point notes, "Let it be a challenge to you." So over the many years of teaching, I tried to imagine how I might challenge my students to "own" their education with respect to American studies. Whether it was in the delivery of a lesson, the format of a test, the requirements of a project, or the classroom climate, my goal, my challenge was to get the students engaged. Hopefully, I succeeded in some small way.
