over population
The Enviromnetal Degradation as a Result of Overpopulation 1Introduction There are simply too many people on our planet, and the population is not showing any signs ofslowing down(see Figure 1). It is having disastrous effects on our environment. There are too manyimplications and interrelationships to discuss in this paper, but the three substances that our earthconsists of: land, water and air, are being destroyed. Our forests are being cut down at an alarmingrate, bearing enormous impacts on the health of earth. Our oceans and seas are being polluted andoverfished. Our atmosphere is injected with increasing amounts of carbon dioxide, which hurts theentire planet. All of these problems can be traced to our vast, rapidly expanding population, which hasstressed our world far too greatly.Our Population In 1994, the world population was 5 602 800 000. This population had a doubling time of onlyforty-one years (De Blij and Muller, 1994, p.527). The massive amount of people has had highlydestructive impacts on the earth’s environment. These impacts occur on two levels: global and local. Onthe global level, there is the accumulation of green house gases that deplete the ozone layer, theextinction of species, and a global food shortage.
