Assume there are just two countries in the world‚ i.e. the European Union (EU) and the Rest of the World (RW). Both countries produce and consume 2 products: bicycles (b) and apples (a). Per bike‚ the EU puts in 3 hours of labour while the RW puts in 5. Per ton of apples‚ the EU needs 2 hours v. the RW 1 hour of labour. A further given is that the EU has 2400 hours of labour available v. RW 1600. The world relative demand has the following form: demand for bikes/demand for apples = price of apples/price

Pharmaceuticals and pesticides are needed to maintain a single species animal farm on an industrial scale.

The abrupt extinction of the megafauna during the Pleistocene in North America dwindled the large animal population to about 70 percent (Martin). The cause of this massive extinction is unclear due to lack of evidence during this time‚ but there are many subjective beliefs that involve both ecological and environmental forces. An ecological force such as human hunters are one hypothesis that is believed to have caused the extinction of the megafauna. This hypothesis is known as the “overkill hypothesis
