Overpopulation is inextricably tied to countless environmental issues: Poverty, water shortages, pollution and waste management, famine, and resource consumption. It was this topic, with a focus on family planning and sex education, that was the focus of a discussion on Wednesday in the Kirner-Johnson Red Pit led by Izaak Walton League representative Rebecca Wadler Lase ’00 and Sierra Club representative Cassie Gardener.

Rebecca Wadler '00, a representative of the Sierra Club, will speak about global over-population and its adverse environmental impacts, on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 6 p.m., in the Red Pit at Hamilton. The talk is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Hamilton Environmental Action Group.

Hamilton student Yinghan Ding ’12 served as a youth representative at the second Governor’s Global Climate Summit in Los Angeles, a conference hosted by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that brought together U.S. and international governors, U.N. officials, senior officials in the Obama Administration and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
