OVERPOPULATION

WHAT IS OVERPOPULATION? Overpopulation is a serious issue, more serious

than it seems to be, so we must look for some solutions for the reasons of this phenomenon.

Overpopulation occurs when there are more people living in an area than there are resources to support them. Resources could include clean water, food, house, land, education, medicine, etc.

The world population has crossed 7 billion (2012) and we are going to deal with the adverse effects of this excessive growth.

GOOD AND BAD The good news about overpopulation, is that people

have become more aware, and have started organizations trying to make the way we live a better place for the Earth!

The bad effects about overpopulation, is the environment issues, poverty, economy, human rights, and biodiversity. We have changed everything completely, and have turned it into a mess.

CAUSES OF OVERPOPULATION1. increased of birth rate2. increased longevity 3. reducing infant mortality4. decreased death rate5. lack of education6. cultural influences7. immigration and emigration

PROBLEMS CAUSED BY OVERPOPULATION Malnutrition Deforestation to build new housing loss of

wildlife habitat eventual extinction of species

Air and water pollution Disease outbreak Abuse of natural resources More waste produced more environmental

toxins

SOLUTIONS: 1. Education

(it is one of the most commonly agreed assumptions that sections of the society deprived of education contribute more to overpopulation. A lack of education, coupled with poverty, gives rise

to a simple theorem in impoverished classes: "More hands, more money“)2. Family planning

(while it may be considered immoral to enforce family planning on the world population, educating and raising awareness about it can certainly help. Often, misconceptions about the surgical processes related to family planning discourage the masses, especially the male contingent, from practicing it)

3. Tax concessions (an effective method of controlling birth rates is

making provisions in taxation that favor families with none or a limited number of children)

4. Sex education (sex education needs to be a obligatory subject in

schools, students of which can by-heart the umpteenth root of googol, but don't know the advantages of contraceptives. Most parents add to this trouble by procrastinating out of making their child aware about the natural aspects of sex)
