The growth rate of human population is an alarming problem that brings with it irreversible consequences, which will likely affect the lifestyles of future generations to come. With the strong skew of population statistics comes catastrophic processes such as global warming and deforestation which have major knock-on consequences. It is issues like these that need to be taken into account when we think about human population growth, and we need to take into account why these problems are occurring. We must also explore the options available to us that could help us limit the problems, or eliminate them all together, to provide a better place, not only for us who exist now, but also for those who will walk this earth in future decades and centuries to come. come.

If deforestation is limited, it will also limit the loss of biodiversity, which is an integral aspect of future survival. It became clear to me what problems the earth is really in, and how ignorant governments and world leaders can be, and how they are easily influenced by the mighty dollar, and while population growth cannot be stopped, it can nevertheless be monitored and in controlled in some way, which in turn will ensure a better world not only for those existing, but for many future generations to come..
