Population - a Stress on the environment and resources!!!

I have read news about the alarming growth of population and this is the reason why my topic for this blog is about POPULATION.


Population or having great number of people in different places is one of the major problem now a days not only here in the Philippines but as well as in other countries in the world, government strive hard create programs that educate individual in order to control the population growth. They even form laws commanding citizens to just have at least two siblings.

It is said to be that Population is a form of stress on the environment and resources!!! Why? Because as many human being are born, many resources are needed in order to supply their living even though they are living in a rich country with full of resources.

Study shows that globally, the 20% of the world's people in the highest-income countries account for 86% of total private consumption expenditures - the poorest 20% a minuscule 1.3%. More specifically, the richest fifth:
· Consume 45% of all meat and fish, the poorest fifth 5%.
· Consume 58% of total energy, the poorest fifth less than 4%.
· Have 74% of all telephone lines, the poorest fifth 1.5%.
· Consume 84% of all paper, the poorest fifth 1.1%.
· Own 87% of the world's vehicle fleet, the poorest fifth less than 1%.
Runaway growth in consumption in the past 50 years is putting strains on the environment never before seen.

This study only proves that there will be a time that our resources will not be enough for the gigantic volume of people in the world. And that we have to do something now before time is not too late. We must also know how to consume things properly not only because of population, for when the time comes that our environment becomes tired of supplying our needs we will surely get nothing from it.

THERE SHOULD BE BALANCE ON EVERYTHING AS WELL AS IN HUMAN POPULATION
