too many people

There are enough statistics and other articles on the internet for you to look at. Frankly, I don't feel like having to find all the exact numbers, anyway.

We have a big problem- human overpopulation. It's a sketchy and controversial subject, but anybody with a brain and eyes can tell that we have a problem somewhere. Maybe it isn't the number of people we have, maybe it's the way that these people manage the world.

At any rate, something must be done. We can't stand around and watch as more and more people come into this earth when we don't have any way of managing our waste and pollution output. How is it that we, one of the richest and greatest countries in the world, can't figure out a way to have less of an impact on our environment.

No, I do not advocate genocide or birth-control laws like those of China. I don't think "global warming" or "climate change" is as big of a problem as it is made out to be. At least not yet. I do think, however, that it is maddening when I go for a walk and there is trash everywhere or when I'm in the car and someone throws a cigarette out the window.

There are many environmental problems, most having to do with human impact. Whether you're a Christian and you believe man is the world's keeper, an atheist an have no particular reason to believe this, or one of the many other religions scattered across the world, think about it. This affects everyone: Democrat and Republican, young and old, male an female, native and foreigner. Let's set an example for the world. We have the capabilities to utilize solar power, geothermal heating and many other forms of alternative energy, so why aren't we doing it?!
