Wonderling, continued from page 10 before, many scientists agree today that a sustainable population of our planet hovers around 9 to 10 billion; and weʼre now well over 7 billion. Sadly the increase isnʼt a historically gradual process. It required tens of thousands of years in human history to reach one million humans, while only a few millenniums were required for another six billion. Of course, our planet could survive infinitely longer if geopolitically all nations and their minions were equal in caring for each otherʼs survival needs for basic food and water. I know Iʼve written about the sustainability of our population before; however, itʼs worth another reminder: we live on a “planet” that needs our constant gratitude and nurturing if weʼre to survive. Could our thoughtless abuse of our planet have inspired NASAʼs astronomically expensive space exploration in search of another “biosphere” for us to inhabit when we trash this one? – Larry Wonderling, Ph.D. Email: [email protected] “HEALTHY LIFESTYLES” FAIRE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. CASA - PV Active Adult Center 9360 Manzanita Circle, Prescott Valley 772-3337 September is SENIOR CENTER MONTH and CASA is in the process of Scheduling more than 35 Organizations and Companies to Provide FREE & Discounted WELLNESS SCREENINGS, Discounted SENIOR SERVICES, and a Wide Variety of INFORMATION regarding Services and Programs Available to Seniors in our area.
