The Environmental Kuznets Curve - What is it?

A graphical illustration of the notion that, with economic development, environmental conditions deteriorate at first, but then improve. The Environmental Kuznets Curve is hypothesized to be true because economic development changes people's priorities from existence to amenities. As people increase their wealth they begin to care for the environmental conditions in which they live and they also have the technological developments to deal with the problems.

Do you believe that the Environmental Kuznets Curve is a representation of what happens in the real world?

Script

Today we met and we wrote out our basic outline for the script and we finalized our plans for the video and gave everyone the assignments that need to be completed before we meet again on Thursday. On Thursday we plan to begin filming and hopefully finish if we have the time. We would also like to go to the innovation space and begin learning how to use the editing software and start putting together the video.

Beginning

Over the weekend every member of our group is going to come up with a basic outline and idea for what they feel our video should look like and what it should include. Then on Monday or Tuesday we are going to get together and share our ideas and pick the best one or choose different ideas from all of our outlines and put together the best ones.
