Limits to Growth – Rex Weyler vs. Ronald Reagan

Written by Dave Gardner on March 22, 2012. Posted in Blog

“There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”

– U.S. President Ronald Reagan

“Oh, yeh?

– Greenpeace International co-Founder Rex Weyler

What more can I say? This is a moment from a wonderful interview with environmental leader and journalist Rex Weyler. Filmed in June, 2010 for the GrowthBusters movie, but did not make it into the film.

I’m on day seven (missed yesterday) of my exponential growth demonstration. If you’re trying this at home, double the grains of wheat in your container. We had 32, so now we’ll have 64.
