FAQs about Immigration and US Population Growth Translate Growth advocates say that people are needed to keep the economy moving, but what is the main cause of... Traffic congestion Overcrowded schools Energy shortages Air pollution Loss of open space Overburdened infrastructure Wage depression Deteriorating quality of life? ... the main cause is RAPID POPULATION GROWTH! Natural increases (birth minus deaths) and immigration are the two contributing factors to U.S. population growth. According to the Census Bureau figures, more than two-thirds of current and future population growth is the result of immigration. Dr. Steven Camarota, Director of Reseach for the Center for Immigration Studies, wrote in a January 2001 paper: Reducing immigration therefore is necessary to curb population growth. The immigrant population in the United States has nearly tripled since 1970, due to legislation passed since 1965 to increase immigration. The California Department of Water Resources has forecast serious water shortages 10 years from now, due to population growth, most of which comes from immigration. Continued population growth directly threatens biodiversity and causes species extinction, loss of farmland and open space, and general degradation of environmental quality. No. There are no long-term growth management plans that can cope with unlimited population growth.

102. Izaak Walton League Sustainability Education Project The Sustainability Education Project was formed to help bring human population growth, economic development and natural resource consumption into balance with the limits of nature for the benefit of current and future generations. http://www.iwla.org/sep/

Sustainability Education Project Sustainability is the commonsense notion that economics, ecology, and quality of life not only go together, they depend on one another. In order to create a clean, health and prosperous world for ourselves and generations to come, we must find ways to balance the needs of a growing human population with the limits of nature. Since 1993, the Sustainability Education Project has worked to spread the word about sustainability. We work with League members, decision makers and the public to promote tried and true approaches to creating a sustainable world – energy efficiency, reduced resource consumption, preservation of open space and voluntary family planning. We invite you to explore this site to learn about our program. You can gather information about concepts and practice of sustainable development, obtain materials and tools to assist your own efforts, and join our Sustainability Network. For project highlights check out “General Information”. Peruse “Publications” to get in-depth information on issues like population growth or step-by-step guides on holding educational events. Visit the “Take Action” section to learn about recent legislative developments. Join the Sustainability Education Program’s Network You’ll receive copies of our newsletter and annual publication, and we’ll keep you informed of new program developments.

105. Population And Economic Data About Suriname population Statistics. growth Domestic Product and other economic data tables. http://parbo.com/information/surdata.html

SURINAME The Republic of Suriname, the former Dutch Guyana in the middle of the three Guyanas, is situated at the north-eastern coast of South-America, north of Brazil, between 2 and 6 degrees northern latitude, and 54 and 58 degrees western longitude. The nation’s territory covers an area of 163,820 sq. km and has about 405,000 inhabitants. This means that with an average of 2.5 persons per sq. km it is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Noteworthy is also the slow population growth. In recent years this has been no more than 0.13% per annum. (population size and growth) The largest portion of the population lives in the fertile coastal plains, where we also find the capital Paramaribo with 300,000 inhabitants. Since the beginning of the seventies there has been an enormous migration of Surinamers to the Netherlands. It is estimated that around 250,000 people of Surinamese descent live in Holland. The populations is highly mixed, and comprises several racial groups, who came to Suriname at different times from different places. This was the result of the immigration which started after the abolition of slavery on July 1 st The native Indians (3%) are the indigenous inhabitants;

Why The United States Is Becoming More Vulnerable To Natural Disasters Despite increases in what we know about natural disasters and how to protect ourselves against them, population growth continues along the coasts, where loss of life and property from these disasters are greatest. http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/articles/eisvink.html

Home Science and Society Science for Everyone Climate CLIMATE AND GLOBAL CHANGE Why the United States Is Becoming More Vulnerable to Natural Disasters Despite increases in what we know about natural disasters and how to protect ourselves against them, more and more people are concentrated along the coasts, where loss of life and property from these disasters are greatest. by G. van der Vink, R. M. Allen, J. Chapin, M. Crooks, W. Fraley, J. Krantz, A. M. Lavigne, A. LeCuyer, E. K. MacColl, W. J. Morgan, B. Ries, E. Robinson, K. Rodriquez, M. Smith, and K. Sponberg, Department of Geosciences, Princeton University, Princeton, N.J. The United States is becoming more vulnerable to natural hazards mostly because of changes in population and national wealth densitymore people and infrastructure have become concentrated in disaster-prone areas. For most of the 20th century, the United States has been largely spared the expense of a catastrophic natural disaster. A great earthquake (magnitude 8 or larger) has not struck a major metropolitan area since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. An extreme or catastrophic hurricane (Class 4 or 5) has not directly struck a major urban area since the one that hit Miami, Florida, in 1926. Yet even without such disasters, which might create losses well over $100 billion, the overall costs of natural hazards, such as extreme weather, drought, and wildfires, are estimated at $54 billion per year for the past 5 years, or approximately $1 billion per week.

Cultural Competency, Haitian Immigrants, and Rural Sussex County, Delaware Lisl Doscher Phelps, RN, BSN, MSN click flag to enter website In the current healthcare climate, cultural competency is a popular term. The United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health defines cultural competence as "having the capacity to function effectively as an individual and an organization within the context of the cultural beliefs, behaviors and needs presented by consumers and their communities" (p. 131). Because it helps practitioners learn how to work with differing cultures, cultural competence is often noted to be one of the solutions to eliminating racial health disparities. This website was created as a tool to help individuals work towards cultural competency with a specific population.

Alternatives to Growth Washington A Washington Non-Profit Corporation Welcome to Alternatives to Growth Washington Are you concerned about population growth and its impact on habitat, for humans and other species, as well as escalating infrastructure costs to support an ever-growing population? Would you like to see changes in public policy that encourage a healthy economy under a sustainable level of population in Washington state? Rapid population growth and the hosts of problems it is causing in our area are not inevitable! We have choices, alternatives that deserve to be explored. Much of our state population growth is fueled by numerous state and local 'economic development' policies which subsidize constant growth in business, government, number of jobs, and population migration - with inadequate attention to their costs in dollars and lost quality of life and environment. A growing body of research is uncovering just how costly growth is - and how the public foots the bill.

Data collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) between 1992-1994 and 1997-1999 showed that the number of people from minority ethnic groups grew by 15% compared to 1% for white people. In its latest quarterly Population Trends report the ONS estimated the number of people from minority ethnic groups in Britain had hit four million - 7% of the population - for the first time. The report said: "The age-sex profiles and the proportions of each ethnic group born in the UK are greatly influenced by the timing of the various waves of immigration into this country as migrants are mainly young adults."

118. Sprawl City Covers comsumption growth and population growth and their roles in urban sprawl. http://www.sprawlcity.org/

DETROIT: Here is a city that, during the period of study, lost population but experienced profound sprawl. In light of that, how can population growth be considered an important factor in American sprawl? PORTLAND: It is at the top of most Smart Growthers' lists for best planning and execution of anti-sprawl efforts. What are the results in terms of sprawl? And if this is the best any Urbanized Area has been able to do, what does that tell us about what the average Smart Growth efforts will accomplish? LOS ANGELES: If a chief goal of Smart Growth is to increase the density of Urbanized Areas, then Los Angeles is a champion of Smart Growth. So with all that de facto Smart Growth, why is L.A. mainly seen as a champion of sprawl? Population growth and increased per capita land consumption have played almost equal roles in the loss of some 1200 square miles of rural land in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Area. According to U.S. Bureau of the Census data, increased per capita land consumption was associated with about 55% of the sprawl in the Watershed and population growth was associated with about 45% of the sprawl, although there is great variation among the different Urbanized Areas of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Chesapeake Bay Watershed is home to more than 3,000 species of plants and animals, and nearly 15 million people today. The restoration and long-term protection of the Bay depends on halting the urban sprawl that is threatening the biodiversity and water quality of the area.
