The DIAGRAM makes a point we have been making for some

time. The resources (especially fertile soil) of Planet Earth too 

produce FOOD are finite and diminishing ! Due to urbanisation

and climate change (drought & desertification). However the 

Earths population (7.5 billion) is increasing and could double

by 2100 when our Grandchildren could still be alive. We must act 

to prevent Mass Starvation & Civil Anarchy in 80 years time.

Actions could include: 1.  Cutting Meat production & consumption

by 75%. 2.  Using GM Crops to adapt to hoter & dryer conditions

caused by Global warming. 3.  Prevent Food spoilage & Food waste. 

Reduce import of Food from Developing Countries. 4.  Instead of

wasting money on ARMAMENTS (WAR) ensure that every Family has 

access to Pure Water ! 5.  Reduce Global CO2 emissions. 7.  Reduce 

Urbanisation & Deforestation so that People live in Sustainable

Communities ! If we act NOW the Planet earth may still be habitable

for our GRANGCHILDREN & GREATGRANDCHILDREN  in the

22nd Century ~ If not the Human race may self destruct !

Through IGNORANCE ~ INTOLERANCE and INHUMANITY !
