Population

            Currently on planet earth there are 7.53 billion people living on planet earth, the population is increasing every day. Personally, I think now we are living very comfortably on planet earth. I think that maybe 2-3 more billion people could live on planet earth. If we overpopulate it can cause us to run out of resources and for us to increase our global warming foot print. In addition, when there are more people we need more space this forces us to expand into forests and other spaces of nature and that can affect the lives of animals. Taking away their homes can cause them to go extinct. Animals are needed in the environment as not only a source of food but to help maintain ecosystems. There are certain areas that are over crowed but there are some that are underpopulated. Certain areas including parts of China, Russia, and India are extremely over populated. When thinking about population we need to think about what is needed for survival and if we will have enough of it if the population continues to grow.  Not only do we need to think about the resources needed for many people we need to think about the impact. Human interactions can have a very harmful effect on the environment. With more people comes more pollution leaving us with uncomfortable living conditions. It is important that we aware of what can happen if we become over populated, and the affects it can have on earth, our environment and our resources.
