All This Talk About Population

All this talk about population growth and the future population of the world is very eye opening. Many high school students these days are always wanting something better, or something more. Frankly, it is very disappointing that we live in such a materialistic society. Americans use whatever they can get their hands on. It is frightening to know that all this pollution, and use of our natural resources can effect us all in the near future. Scientists predict this huge population of 8 to 12 billion people in the year 2050. That is in our generation, us kids will be grown adults and will probably have children of our own. Our future, and their future, can be completely different from our society at the moment just because we are using so much. We are causing so much harm. Hopefully people and governments can rethink things, and make sure our future and the generations to come are secure.
