Everyday the population grows. The population has increased greatly over
the years. In 1800 the population was 1 billion, and has since grown to 7.8 billion.
The population will continue to increase. Based on statistics from World
Population Prospects It is expected that earth will have a population of 8.6 billion
at mid 2030s, 9.8 billion at mid 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100. We need to
control the population growth because we cannot have a sustainable planet
without a stable population. According to an article on
https://www.populationmedia.org/ states, “As human populations grow, human
demands for resources like water, land, trees, and energy also grow.
Unfortunately, the price of all this “growth” is paid for by other endangered plants
and animals and an increasingly volatile and dangerous climate.” If we exceed
the carrying capacity limit it will not only make it harder to get necessary
resources, but it will affect the whole earth and many other organisms. This is
why it is so necessary to control population growth and decrease it.
