The Miniature Earth Project

An amazing exercise in world statistics that explains in basic terms the extent of the population problems we face today

‘The original text in ‘The Miniature Earth’ was first published on May 29, 1990 with the title “State of the Village Report”, written by Donella Meadows. Nowadays Sustainability Institute, through Donella’s Foundation, carries on her ideas and projects. The text used in this film has been modified. The statistics have been updated based on specialized publications and mainly reports on the world’s population provided by The UN, PRB and others.’ - The Miniature Earth
