Overpopulation

I sat with a friend, discussing overpopulation, "the worlds not overpopulated" he stated "Look around you, there is still, a lot more land, there are still places, with very few people" Granted that's true, there are still places with few people yet the fish have become depleted from the sea We cut down fifty eight football fields of raintree forest, every day, the seas are depleted, because people need to eat, We cut down the rain forest because people need furniture, there are only three hundred Siberian tigers left in the world, Other animals have a right to life three, tiger species became extinct in the twentieth century, the ozone layer is becoming depleted because of the carbon that we, as a race create. granted cows have more stomachs cows give off more methane gas, Yet we are by far are the biggest creator of carbon pollution, cars, cigarettes and human gas, go into creating air pollution, four and a half new babies are born every second, yes people have a right to have a family, Yet what do you want, their future to hold, We depend on nature but now, nature also depends on us, The north and south pole are melting, fresh water going into the ocean, could change the chemical balance Of the sea, perhaps stopping the Mediterranean rift, perhaps changing heat transfer, perhaps changing nature, we depend on this planet for our survival, yet this planet also depends on us, We have a brain, We have the ability, to overcome these problems, Together we can achieve the impossible, United we stand divided we fall yet if we work against each other we achieve nothing, using investment, we can overcome our problems, We can make cars that run on electricity, We can decide, to have less children, Together we can do the impossible, We have already sent people into space Yet if we spend our time fighting, against each idea, we get nowhere, To overcome a problem first you must agree you have a problem Then create a solution, that solves the problem, Increasing tax and destroying lives does not work investing together creating change is a solution, We are the most intelligent animal on the planet
