Sometimes i wonder what will happen to our world if we continue multiplying our population. Is there still enough space for us to build home? how about for the next generation? Can we still have some fish in our table since our river is already polluted or can we still breath a fresh air? I really wonder what comes end? How about you, do you have any idea what will happen next?

I get depressed every time I think of that. But I believe that if each of us helps. we can solve the problem. Pollution is something that can be helped by all of us. We have to learn how to live with less luxuries and recycling has to become a way of living. Maybe many more people can live in this earth if we donĀ“t turn it into dumpers.

Hi, thleyr! According to a recent analysis I read, we only actually inhabit about one-sixth of the land that could be inhabited. Of course, we must maintain the rainforests and delicate environments. Still, as technology allows us to stay out of the cities and still earn a living in growing numbers, all that open land might just get filled, but it would take a very long time. Innovative building practices are making even the most crowded cities more livable, as well.

I also wonder sometimes about this fact and then I believe it is in the sole responsibility of a person who have to decide if he is willing to save the world from overpopulation or maintain the number or continue the numbers. We are already very far from peace and harmony so all we need to do is to try to do worthful thing in the time left.

I have thought about this, especially in terms of the multiplying population. I had a tubal ligation after two children. I wonder how polluted the world will become if we don't stop our dependence on oil. There are other technologies out there that will also provide power, why don't we depend on this more. I don't have any idea what is going to happen next, but I sure hope I'm not here to see it happen.
