the future not just of Malaysia but the
the future not just of Malaysia but the future of humanity there’s things that
future of humanity there’s things that
future of humanity there’s things that we need to consider when we talk about
we need to consider when we talk about
we need to consider when we talk about the future so all the things just like

in nature are interrelated so when we
in nature are interrelated so when we talk about the future we need to
talk about the future we need to
talk about the future we need to consider the world population how many
consider the world population how many
consider the world population how many of us are living in this planet the
of us are living in this planet the

human needs what do each of us need to
human needs what do each of us need to stay alive we need to consider how are
stay alive we need to consider how are
stay alive we need to consider how are we supply in these things to all of us
we supply in these things to all of us
we supply in these things to all of us and finally the impact that this has on
and finally the impact that this has on
and finally the impact that this has on that beautiful planet that keeps us
that beautiful planet that keeps us
that beautiful planet that keeps us alive everything is interrelated
alive everything is interrelated
alive everything is interrelated so let’s start with war population we
so let’s start with war population we
so let’s start with war population we know that we are more than 7.3 billion
know that we are more than 7.3 billion
know that we are more than 7.3 billion people in the world and still
people in the world and still
people in the world and still reproducing more and more we expect to
reproducing more and more we expect to
reproducing more and more we expect to have more than 10 billion people living
have more than 10 billion people living
have more than 10 billion people living in this planet by the year 2100 even
in this planet by the year 2100 even
in this planet by the year 2100 even though the birth rates are decreasing we
though the birth rates are decreasing we
though the birth rates are decreasing we know that the total population is
know that the total population is
know that the total population is increasing because when development
increasing because when development
increasing because when development happens also death rates decrease the
happens also death rates decrease the
happens also death rates decrease the perfect example we have it in countries
perfect example we have it in countries
perfect example we have it in countries like Germany Sweden where people are
like Germany Sweden where people are
like Germany Sweden where people are reproducing less correct but with more
reproducing less correct but with more
reproducing less correct but with more development the total rate still
development the total rate still
development the total rate still increases they are reproducing less but
increases they are reproducing less but
increases they are reproducing less but they are still reproducing so we know
they are still reproducing so we know
they are still reproducing so we know we’re going to be a lot more people in
we’re going to be a lot more people in
we’re going to be a lot more people in the planet and all of us have certain
the planet and all of us have certain

like some of the other speakers have
like some of the other speakers have already mentioned we’re all going to
already mentioned we’re all going to
already mentioned we’re all going to need energy to keep us alive to keep our
need energy to keep us alive to keep our
need energy to keep us alive to keep our industry is going so let’s talk about
industry is going so let’s talk about
industry is going so let’s talk about these separate things food we know that
these separate things food we know that
these separate things food we know that as countries develop the diets changes
as countries develop the diets changes
as countries develop the diets changes well so we’re talking about more people
well so we’re talking about more people
well so we’re talking about more people with changing diets
with changing diets
with changing diets this means countries that used to
this means countries that used to
this means countries that used to consume more starch base things like

rice now they’re moving into more dairy
rice now they’re moving into more dairy and meat and don’t forget that to

produce 1 kg of rice takes about 3000
produce 1 kg of rice takes about 3000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef
liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef
liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef takes more than 15,000 liters of water
takes more than 15,000 liters of water

developing countries put the sewage back
developing countries put the sewage back into rivers and oceans without treating
