Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of existing human populations exceeds the carrying capacity of the planet Earth. In the past few centuries, the human race has begun to ask not what they can do for Planet Earth, but what Planet Earth can provide for them. Thus, overpopulation takes its toll on the natural world through deforestation, growing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, and other means of environmental pollution. For social change to truly impact the rate of overpopulation, awareness of this issue definitely needs to be spread in all facets of society. Adolescents should be taught the negative consequences of teen pregnancy. Families should be taught the importance of family planning, and how the old adage, "less is more" should be preferable. Make a change today! :)

Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing this level of interest proves that people are finally ready to confront these hard truths. This momentum is the only thing keeping me going right now. We have a long path ahead but at least we are moving forward.
