As of october 31, 2011 the U.N. Population Fund said their will be seven billion people sharing earth's resources. Unfortunately, the growth will be in Africa, India, and China where their are many people living in horrible conditions and in poverty. The growth is not nessecerily a bad thing, but more resources will need to be funded. The International Water Insitute say that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in places where major water shortages will occur. Water is a main key component of life and without it people would die. This is not a cause for an alarm, but in the future prices for food and daily esscentials will be rising. With having over 215 million women worldwide that dont have family planning, population will continue to grow.
thats alot of people! Its crazy to think that there are so many different individuals around the world and most have a place to stay. i wonder how many people there will be in 100 years from now!
ReplyDeleteOver population is arguably humanity's biggest problem. Our resources are running thin and yet we continue to over populate. Sooner or later we are going to have to a dress this, sure China has taken some measures but it is clearly not enough.
ReplyDeletei think that if more people knew about this kind of thing, they would think twice about having children!
