3. Did you Know?
1 kg of beef takes 6 liters
of oil to produce
The earth needs more energy to produce
1 kg of meat than 1 kg of vegetables
Modern life calls for huge
energy consumption
The consumption of fossil energy
creates major environmental problems

4. “Modern Life” Depends
on Huge Energy

5. Energy Consumption
Will Grow Rapidly
• Growing energy
consumption is
linier with human
population and
Gross Domestic
Income (GDP)
• This graph
assumes that the
world population
will stabilize at 10
billion people
What if the human population does not stabilize at 10 billion?
Can you imagine the chaotic situation?

6. World Energy Consumption
is Dominated by Fossil Fuel
1970
Oil : 88%
Natural Gas: 6%
Coal: 1%
Hydro: 5%
Geothermal: 0%
2006
Oil : 47%
Natural Gas: 22%
Coal: 23%
Hydro : 2%
Geothermal: 5%

Hubbert (1903-1989)
Era of
energy
crisis
In 1956, Hubbert predicted that global oil production would peak around the
Year 2000 and trigger an Energy Crisis with power blackouts and rising costs of
energy and fuel.

16. War in the Middle East
✱ War in the Middle East is triggered not just by terrorism. The
core issue is the Middle East housing the world’s biggest oil
reserve.
✱ Any big country would try to dominate the Middle East
politically or by using military power.

18. These are just a few examples of degradation of normally renewable natural
resources and services in different parts of the world, mostly as a result of growing
population and rising rates of resource-use per person.

19. Potential Climate Change Impact

20. Natural Capital Degradation: Food Production

21. A Smoggy City
Energy consumption mainly of fossil fuel trigger very high
environmental problems that cause risk to human life and health.

22. DUSTS (Pneumoconiosis)
Inorganic Dust
Coal Dust - Anthracosis
Silica - Silicosis
Asbestos - Asbestosis
Iron - Siderosis
Organic Dust
Cane Fiber - Bagassosis
(Bronchi gets affected)
Cotton dust - Byssinosis
(In textile industries)
Tobacco - Tobaccosis
(Lung Cancer)
Grain Dust - Farmer’s Lungs

23. Coal Dust - Anthracnose

24. Silica - Silicosis

25. A disease of the lungs
characterized by fibrosis is
caused by chronic inhalation of
mineral dusts, especially silica
and asbestos. When insoluble
inorganic materials (like
silica and asbestos) enter the
lungs, they stay in the lungs and
cause inflammation and
disease.
Pneumoconiosis

26. Oxides of Nitrogen
- Brochiolitis
They cause eye irritation
and respiratory trouble.
They have mutagenic
properties.

30. Water-Energy Nexus
• Water is essential for all lives on this planet and almost
all human activities.
• Water provision is a major challenge that humanity is
facing in the twenty-first century due to limited water
resources and the deterioration of water quality.
• In order to meet increasing water demand, a large
amount of energy is required for pumping, treating and
delivering water.
• Thermo-electric machines consumed approximately 201
billion gallons of freshwater per day in 2005, which
accounts for 41% of the total freshwater withdrawals in the
U.S.

31. Three Principles of Sustainability

32. Three Principles of Sustainability
Reliance on Solar Energy. The sun warms the planet and provides
energy that plants use to produce nutrients, or the chemicals
necessary for life. Without it, life as we know it would not exist.
Biodiversity is the astounding variety of different organisms, the
natural systems in which they exist and interact, and the natural
services that these organism and living systems provide free of charge.
Without it, most life forms would have been wiped out long ago.
Chemical cycling is the circulation of chemicals from the environment
mostly from soil and water through organisms and back to the
environment, which is necessary for life.

33. Natural capital degradation: The Aral sea was one of the world’s largest
saline lakes, straddling the borders of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Natural Capital Degradation: Water

34. Fortunately, the world’s freshwater supply is continually
collected, purified, recycled, and distributed in the earth’s
hydrologic cycle which is driven by solar energy and gravity.
The irreplaceable water recycling and purification systems
work well unless we overload them with pollutants or
withdraw freshwater from underground and surface water
supplies faster than we can replenish them.
In some parts of the world, we are doing all of these things,
mostly because we have thought of the earth’s freshwater
as essentially a free and infinite resource.

37. Water Pollution
Concept 11-5 Reducing
water pollution requires
that we prevent it, work
with nature to treat
sewage, cut resource
use and waste, and
reduce poverty, and
slow population growth.

Major threats to marine systems
– Coastal development
– Overfishing
– Use of fishing trawlers
– Runoff of nonpoint source pollution
– Point source pollution
– Habitat destruction
– Introduction of invasive species
– Climate change from human activities
– Pollution of coastal wetlands and estuaries

mosquitoes, agricultural pests and weeds.

Pesticides & Herbicides

44. Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane (DDT):
• used as a pesticide from 1939 - late 1960s
• fat soluble compound
• the world’s production has substantially decreased
since it was banned in the West
• detected in mud of deep sea and snow & ice of
Antarctica
Halogenated hydrocarbons or organochlorines:
Include DDT and PCBs, which are slow to biodegrade
Pesticides

45. Polychloronated Biphenyls (PCBs)
• produced since 1944
• banned in U.S. by 1979
• used in production of electrical equipment,
paints, plastics, adhesives, and coating
compounds…
• found everywhere in the ocean
• released in the environment by unregulated
incineration of discarded products
DDT & PCBs affects:
• copepod and oyster development
• death of shrimp and a variety of fish

47. What Can We Do?
Back To Nature and Build Sustainable Organic Agriculture
✱ Use less energy by discarding meat, and eat just organically
certified products.
✱ Organically grow some of our food (use organic fertilizers,
biological pest control, integrated pest management,
efficient irrigation).
✱ Eat locally grown food,
✱ Compost and cut down food wastes.
✱ Support the efforts of the OM Sri Surabhi Campaign and get
involved: www.srisurabhi.org

48. Srila Prabhupada Said:
“This is not good civilization. It will
not stay. There will be catastrophe.
Many times it has happened and it
will happen…”. June 6, 1974-Geneva
“The modern life of civilization
depends wholly on electricity and
petrol and both of them are artificial
for man”. Letter – Nov. 13, 1965-NY
What Srila Prabhupada said is 100%
true. Let us not waste our time in
waiting. Let’s return to our Vedic
Culture.
Varnasrama Dharma is the Only Solution!
