Wealthier countries excessive consumer demands (energy + material consumption in canada = 3~5 x world average) Pollution: immediate + concentrated (oil spills) & gradual and global (carbon emissions) often local source but global in scope. Population characteristics: population density, birth and death rates, growth rates, age structure. Spatial + temporal variations of population characteristics = central to many environmental problems/solutions. Population density number of individuals of a species per unit of area/volume at a given time (persons/km^2: variations: in different environment, at different times (seasons, years)
