ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dennis Meadows

Dennis Meadows was a scientist who wrote the famous book, "The Limits to Growth." In this book, Dennis and his team of researchers studied how the environment, population and resources are all connected. They found that if the world continues to use more resources than it has in a sustainable way, then the planet will eventually run out of resources, which could have a very bad effect on society. Dennis Meadows wanted everyone to think about these risks and become aware of them so that we can all work together to find ways to reduce these risks and create a better future for ourselves and the planet.
