overpopulation

Given the choice between letting events follow their current course and making some serious changes, people from all over the world are expected to understand the problem that our planet is facing, and decide to do something about the problem of overpopulation. Sadly, we can realize that the human race is like a plague, because as population grows, natural sources are destroyed.

Having defeated a lot of diseases, population growth has increased, because people are living much longer than they used to. Facing this problem, what are we expected to do? Should we let people be killed by wars or lack of food and water? This is too cruel; the best option is simply to prevent childbearing.

Nowadays, we can hear wherever we are, about the end of water in the world, but, do people realize that this is a real and a major problem? I don’t think so, indeed, people are using water in the same measure they always have, if not more. This is a clear proof which unfortunately, make us see the reality about ourselves. It is the same with other natural resources. Let’s talk about food. By using new methods of farming, farmers have increased the amount of available food, but, is this enough? Can food grow in the same measure people do? I don’t think so. As population grows, fields will be in danger, People will have to cut more trees and as result, some species of animals will die, and hormones will be used even more than now.

What to do? In my opinion, governors from all over the world should propose the passing some laws in favour of controlling childbearing. Each family shouldn’t be allowed to have more than two kids, so that we can achieve Zero population growth. We can also encourage the use of contraceptive methods, especially condoms, which can be provided free of charge by the government of each country.
