Are We Increasing Our Carrying Capacity Overtime?

Growth negatively affects the environment. It also negatively affects, bya diversity so other beings besides humans that are in the environment. And ultimately, it also negatively affects ourselves. There's another ecological term to understand, which is called carrying capacity. When a species is carrying capacity, that means that it uses more resources than the area can regenerate. Eventually that leads that species to collapse. So every time we use non-renewable energy like fossil fuels, that's essentially taking from an energy source of the past and giving it to us now. We're not able to continually replenish what we've already used up. This episode will be on CNN at 10 p.m. ET/
