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.

The planet can no longer sustain 9 billion people and growing. Every system in the world is strained. Capitalism, Greedomics, and the negative backlash of developers buying farmland is destroying everything! Our food supplies are diminishing as well. Outdated religious ideologies, superstition, and ignorance are major factors in this issue. At this point in human history....if you love children, DON'T HAVE THEM. This planet is about to eject us all!
its way over due. hope people actually listen to this.
TOO MANY PEOPLE. Period. Glad this is finally being brought up.
Finally someone said it. People act like we have infinite space but we dont. The planet is drowning.
Yo!!
Yo!!

Overpopulation is NOT a myth. It is a very inconvenient and existential fact of our current existence. I agree that the "carbon footprint" of a child in Niger does not equate to that of an American Billionaire. That is self-evident. It just means that the problem is worse than people think and that when the consumptuon coefficients are calculated correctly, we have an "effective population" of over 10 billion. In fact, recent reports suggest human population is being underreported due to remote
