Question
Analyze the three graphs below that show different types of population growth: exponential growth, limited population growth zero population growth.
For all graphs y Axis is population size
X axis is time
First graph is one of exponential growth
Second graph is one of limited growth with a carrying capacity around the top of the y axis
Last graph is one of zero growth
With y axis/population going for 0 to 100,00
X axis/time going from 0 to 400
With a line at 50,000 y-axis
Going from 0 to 400 and a line going down connecting to 350 x-axis
Assume that three societies represent these three different growth models. Even if all three societies have the exact same ecological footprint their long term impact on the planet would be different. Write in CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) or R.A.C.E.S. format as to which society would have the largest impact.

**Claim:** The society with exponential growth would have the largest long-term impact on the planet.
**Evidence:** In the exponential growth graph, the population keeps increasing rapidly without any limits, while the limited growth society reaches a carrying capacity and levels off.
**Reasoning:** As the population grows exponentially, this society will consume more resources and produce more waste over time, leading to greater environmental strain. Even if their ecological footprint is the same as the others, the sheer number of people will magnify their overall impact, making it harder for the planet to sustain them. In contrast, the limited growth society stabilizes its population and the zero growth society maintains a constant population, which results in less stress on the Earth’s resources.
