Human Population

We all know that the human population has been increasing at a rapid rate and there seems as if it is not going to slow down. We are currently at a world population of 6.6 billion and expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2050! We have to do something to control our growing world population or else there will not be any more resources for the upcoming generations.

We know what we are doing and we know that we are destroying the planet, but why doesn't anyone do anything about it? We as humans have the power to control the population through parent planning or some other reliable method. I am not saying we should limit the amount of children a family has, because that would be unjust, i am just saying that if people are ready to have children they should instead of people just having children just for the heck of it and overpopulating the planet.

If we cannot solve the population problem, we might as well try to use what resources we have left in a sustainable manner. We here on the news everyday about problems such as global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps and the decreasing forest area around the world, but we just go on living our lives. We need to realize that what we are doing to the planet does not only affect us humans, it affects the other animals that inhabit this planet. When we use up resources such as trees and start to cut them down more and more, animals that rely on the trees as a habitat for themselves and their families have no where to go. We are closing in on animals around the world and causing them to lose their homes. If we cannot fix this problem of growing human population, we will not only suffer but other animals that are not at fault will suffer also. We know that the problem is more of a concern in the developing countries because they do not have the access to the same information that us developing countries have and are unaware on how to reverse their planet destroying actions.

We need to find a way that we can fix the problems where it will be easy for everyone to participate and spread awareness, or the world as we know it will become useless to us and that is the inconvenient truth.
