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?

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.
