In this second video of the new series, NPG analyzes the effects of U.S. population growth - specifically when it comes to urban sprawl and over-development. We break down the complex topic into bite-sized pieces, so that the average American can gain a better understanding of the true impact of our nation's growth. The film answers important questions -covering topics often dismissed or misunderstood by many Americans:

* Isn't America spending enough on development to keep pace with growth?
* How does population growth impact our infrastructure - things like electricity, water, or hospitals?
* How much is America growing each year? And what does that mean for our environment?

Throughout each section, the film supplies viewers with real facts - including the latest statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, demonstrating the true scope of America's population size and growth. We demonstrate to viewers that - even at less than 1% a year - our growth adds up to over 2 million people per year. That even our "low" fertility rates resulted in nearly 4 million babies last year - an average of one birth every 8 seconds. And we are gaining one international migrant every 27 seconds. The video concludes with a question that NPG has long posed to the American public, policy makers, and the national media:

"If we keep growing, what will America's landscape look like for our grandchildren?"
