The Tea-Seller's Dilemma
In 1994, one of the authors (VKP) was traveling in India from Mumbai to Pune in the State of Maharashtra.

Fresh Water
Virtually all human settlements are located in areas where fresh water is available.
The main source of our fresh water supply is ultimately precipitation.
The world’s annual fresh water supply is about 110,000 cubic kilometers.
Deforestation
One de nition describes it as an essentially natural, peaceful process of gradual transformation from one land use to another.
Biodiversity
The removal of trees results in the destruction of habitats of rare species of animals, birds, and plants.
Eventually, these species will vanish, as they are unable to adapt to their changed physical environment.
