Overpopulation

By Kate Willingham and Maggie Whitley

What is Overpopulation?

• Overpopulation is an over mass of people so that natural resources are getting used up more than they should.

How is Overpopulation harming the Earth?

• The more people that are born, the more resources that they take up. So when there are tons of people being born, then there are less resources for everyone.

How to Prevent Overpopulation

• Overpopulation can be prevented if families really sit down and plan how many children they want to have, and how many they can support economically.

• People that have over five children and they cannot pay for that many children are not really thinking about how having this many kids is harming the earth. They are causing overpopulation because their children are using up too many natural resources and the family most likely did not plan to have this many children.
