ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Christian Zeller

Christian Zeller is a person, just like you and me! He was born in Germany and he is a professor of economic geography. This means he studies how people use resources and how they affect the environment.

Think of it like this: imagine you have a really cool toy and your friend wants to play with it too. You can share the toy with them but if you both play with it too much, it might break or get worn out. Christian Zeller thinks about how we can share things like toys, food, and water without using too much or hurting the environment.

He has studied lots of different things like how cities grow and how we can use public transportation instead of cars. He also thinks about how money and power can affect the way that resources are used. Overall, Christian Zeller cares a lot about making sure we use things in a way that helps the world instead of hurting it.
