Introduction

The human species have been alive for around 200,000 years or more, each 15 years the population grows by 15 billion.  Overpopulation is when a species population has grown so much that it exceeds the capacity of its enviroment, and in this case it is humans overpopulating earth
Overpopulation is caused by and increase of birth rate and life span and not only do overpopulation affect ourselves but also any life sort form (animals, plants, micro-organisms etc) and our planet.
Overpopulation is mainly centred around urban areas like large cities/metropolitan of a country.
 This blog will tackle the issue of overpopulation.  Will we reach a day where our food supply and resources run out or have has it already begun? Humans need resouces in order to continue living, these are categorised as natural and renewable resouces. What will come out of overpopulation and  if the world is really overpopulated, what are the actions taken to slow it down? If overpopulation isn't prevented are we willing to risk the future generation's livelihood and earth?

  1. Ok, some good points introduced in your introduction - but you may want to review some of the language a little.

    What about considering why the world has become so overpopulated or is it the whole world or just part of it might be interesting to contemplate? Are some countries going to be disadvantaged more than others and how are we going to overcome this globally, and should we care? Just wondering if you had any thoughts on that ...
