Excerpt from the Book
How To Solve The Problem Of Overpopulation
Who needs an apocalypse if we have a similar problem? Our world is bursting at the seams and it seems that we cannot stop it: Currently, 7.2 Billion people are living on Earth and about 80 million people are going to be added each year. (a) We are consuming a lot of water, food and energy, and we are producing gigantic trash: As a result, we are inexorably destroying our environment.
"The fight to survive is running right now," said the American journalist Alan Weisman. (a) A brutal distribution battle will begin soon. We, the people, can hold against this problem but we have only one option: We have to decrease our population. But how to find a way to solve the problem?
First of all, we need to have an overview about the tragedy and its consequences: Overpopulation constitutes one of the most essential causes for the most problems worldwide. In the near future, each country will have to face a lack of food, water, and energy. One reason why a country can still ensure its prosperity is due to its imported items from other countries. (b) But this cannot be the longtime solution since the population in almost every country is increasing.
