Why population matters....

overpopulation.org

Reasons Why Population Matters

1. Worsening water scarcity stems in large part from increases in human demand. Water tables are dropping world wide.

2. Pollution in cities is the number one killer of young children because of respiratory diseases. Cities are growing at an alarming rate.

3. Worldwide, 800 million people are malnourished, and the number could grow significantly. Farming lands are suffering from soil erosion and desertification.

4. The poor are getting poorer due to competition for resourses while governments are strained to keep up with them and economies fail.

5. The world's oceans are overfished and the coral reefs are dying

6. Humanity is rapidly changing the earth's atmosphere and thus its climate

7. Wild habitats that shelter endangered plants and animals are giving way to human activities and needs

8. Disease knows no borders, and crowding helps spread disease, and lack of education in reproductive health is a factor in the recent upsurge of infectious disease

9. Migration pressures are aggrevated by rapid population growth

10. Civil conflict often emerges in societies where rapid population growth combines with environmental scarcity to undermine governments.
