Arithmetic, Population, and Energy. By Dr. Albert Bartlett,

(a retired Professor of Physics, University of Colorado.)

In the late 1950s, Al  was an initiator of the citizen’s effort to preserve open space in Boulder, and this ultimately led to the establishment of the City of Boulder’s Open Space Program which by 1999 has purchased over 26,000 acres of land to be preserved as public open space. He is a founding member of the PLAN-Boulder County, an environmental group for the City and Country. Since the late 1960s he has concentrated on public education on the problems relating to and originating from population growth. More recently he has written on sustainability, examining the widespread misuse of the term, and examining the conditions that are necessary and sufficient for sustainability in any society.
