Family size also impacts the attitude towards girls and their education. The psychological problems and domestic violence are also the problems. The girls have to sacrifice their future and education that keep them out of working environment. The small family size would make all to share equally whatever they have. Every child would be a wanted child whether it is a boy or a girl. Over population is the major cause to make many policy and infrastructural plans ineffective by creating difficulties to implement the state development programs.
All the roads, buses, hospitals, schools facilities seem insufficient to cater everyone. The unrestrained population growth can overwhelm any efforts to achieve sustainable future.
A lack of outdoor games, sports activities and recreational activities is also the reason and outcome of increased population. Beside the shortage of sports academies,even parks, forests and green lands are diminishing rapidly. The housing societies are taking their place to cater large population. The houses are now more congested. The more consumption brings more wastage that brings more cleaning problems all over. The natural environment is also affecting our ways of life adversely with air and water pollution.
The growing population always needs more natural and materialistic resources along with space to adjust but unfortunately both of which are running out.
To make anything effective, our nation needs to change in their stereotype thoughts and in their attitude. There must be a certain limit to that growth.
We can no longer wait and should not wait for any miracle to make our country capable enough to handle the increasing population. We have to stop blaming the policies and government but have to take step on individual level. We need to be aware and educated on the cause and effect of over population. Our decisions and actions will influence the utilisation of existing opportunities for the current generation to make them an engine for economic growth.
We need to create a balance between service providers and people benefiting from those services to have an acceptable level of performance and prosperity. Some scientists believe that our advances in Science will help augment the demands of a growing population. By year , we should be reaching a population between 8 to 10 billion.
By year , we will need 3 Earths to continue living the way we do. Where do we find the other 2 Earths? They have poor sanitation, illiteracy, wars, poverty, dwindling natural resources, poor waste management and so on. These countries have more pressing problems and they devote less time, budget and energy to addressing environmental issues — unlike the more developed countries.
How will they cope if their population doubles? If you do the math, there will be a very big deficit. More: Earth Population Counter. One good model of over population is India. How has their growing population affected the country? It will put pressure on economies and even halt whatever progress the country has managed to achieve. More: Consequences of Depletion of Natural Resources. However, rate of growth should not be the only measurement of overpopulation.
Density of population should also be considered. As an example, there are many countries in Africa whose growth rate is higher than India.
Future population growth can only result to further degradation of our environment. Not mentioned here are the effects of global warming, which will surely worsen due to the increased carbon footprint.
Spread the message. Make a donation. This time, though, it isn't because of geologic or cosmic forces — it's because of our unsustainable human population growth and overconsumption. As our growing human population reaches farther and farther into remote areas in search of room to build cities, housing developments, golf courses and new farms, we're squeezing wildlife into ever smaller habitat refuges, often leaving endangered species nowhere else to go.
The Center has been working to address the connection between rampant human population growth and the extinction crisis since Our innovative campaigns focus on common-sense solutions, including the empowerment of women and girls, the education of all people, universal access to birth control, sustainable consumer choices, and a societal commitment to giving all species a chance to live and thrive. Human population growth is at the root of our most pressing environmental issues, yet it's often left out of the conversation.
We can fight to curb climate change, stop habitat loss and clean up pollution, but if we don't address our unsustainable population, it'll stay an uphill battle that we can't win.
The first step to solving a problem is getting people to talk about it. The Center is working to put the spotlight back on human population growth. We're using creative media like our award-winning Endangered Species Condoms to start conversations on a person-to-person basis nationwide and using YouTube to explain those not quite so obvious connections between population growth and other environmental problems in short, entertaining but educational vlog videos.
We're also pushing outreach by bringing the message to museums, science centers and classrooms and through social media campaigns like CrowdedPlanet.
