2050

Did you know that currently the human population is around 6 billion people? The earth's crust can only hold so much weight before it breaks. The more people we add, which is three people born per second, the more weight we add. Why do people insist on having such big families? I understand the religious values of procreation, but honestly people! Get your heads out of the sand! Look around! Do you really need more than two children of your own? There are thousands upon thousands of children that need to be adopted all over the world. Stop being so selfish.
Every second, three people are born > every day 1/4 million people are born > every year 77 million people are born. It is estimated that by 2050, the human population with be between 8.5 and 10 billion people. 10 BILLION PEOPLE. That is crazy! Yet, here we are, congratulating people who have 10 kids or more. Why? I look at those people and think "What are you doing?!" Can these people afford those kids? Not just financially, but emotionally...can these people give love to each child equally? I don't know. Our birth-death rate used to be equal. Now, our birth rate is higher than the death rate. Actually, the death rate does not even come close to matching the birth rate.
If humans continue to grow then we will take over the planet. Natural habitats will disappear. Our food sources will disappear. Our oxygen sources will disappear. Our lands for agriculture will become land for cities and housing developments. Smog will not only be in the biggest cities, but will cover the entire planet. Our planet will look disgusting. Our water undrinkable.
What are we doing? What are we thinking? What kind of world are we preparing for ourselves? For our children? For their children? What will we do to save the planet? What will we do to save our lives?
