  • Assessing the Science
    FAMILY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY • SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING FAMILY Is there a scientific evidence base demonstrating that the use of family planning contributes to environmental sustainability? This report explores that question based on a two-year collaborative review of more than 900 peer-reviewed research papers from around the world published from 2005 through early 2016. No scientific discipline systematically examines or confirms the influence of voluntary family planning on environmental problems. Looking at pathways that lead through the slowing of population growth and the empowerment of women, however, the Family Planning and Environmental Sustainability Assessment (FPESA) found a wide-ranging literature generally affirming that this influence is both real and constructive. FPESA identified considerable evidence supporting—and very little refuting—the statement that the practice Family Planning and of voluntary family planning promotes environmental benefits and that expanding access to it can help bring about an environmentally sustainable world that meets human needs. The diversity of researchers interested in the family-planning connection to the environment is high, the report also concludes. Environmental Sustainability: The report features the project’s findings, perspectives on major related issues by eight authors, and an annotated bibliography containing assessments of 50 of the most compelling papers relevant to the linkage. ASSESSING THE SCIENCE ASSESSING Assessing Through research and outreach that inspire action, the Worldwatch Institute works to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world that meets human needs. The Institute’s top mission objectives are universal access to renewable energy and nutritious food, expansion of environmentally sound jobs and the Science development, transformation of cultures from consumerism to sustainability, and an early end to population growth through healthy and intentional childbearing.

  • Central Texas Master Naturalist Newsletter October 2020
    Central Texas Master Naturalist Newsletter October 2020 Texas Master Naturalist 2020 VIRTUAL Annual Meeting October 14-17, 2020 The 21st Annual State TMN Conference is happening! Deadline is October 2nd at midnight —we hope you haven’t missed it! The conference will be all things nature – from how to guide hikes, spot native plants and attract owls, to impacting local policy. And anyone interested in Texas’ natural resources and conservation efforts across the state can register! This year is going to be pretty different from the first twenty. No surprise there—many chapters, including ours, have embraced the “virtual” everything since mid-March. The handful of state TMN staff have worked very hard to convert an in-person, meals-and-lodging conference for 500 people from around the state with 150 concurrent sessions and 30 field trips into something quite different with a few months notice during a global pandemic. Good news is: great learning opportunities from the comfort of your recliner, porch rocking chair or a computer at the library. Four days for $55. For Master Naturalists, if you are behind, you can get all of your annual Advanced Training hours with this conference. Plenty of interesting topics and expert speakers.
