Sustainable Society:  A society that balances the environment, other life forms, and human interactions over an indefinite time period.

The graph illustrates Minnesota's historical and projected population under current population policies.  The first 150 years are actual growth; the balance is projected growth.  The graph reflects the magnitude of the population differences since statehood and the future Minnesota over the identical time span.  The midpoint year is today, approximately 150 years between the State's founding and the next 150 years.  The reference to the “1980 Population Group” (lower blue portion) is the actual 1980 Minnesota population excluding immigration after 1980.
