Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes the problem of overpopulation of the human race. The paper focuses on problems of environmental destruction and human consumption and waste production, as well as ways to reduce the human birth rate.

From the Paper:

"While we humans are growing aware of the need to protect the earth, we are in denial about the main cause of environmental crises: there are too many of us. The problem is that we are exceeding the carrying capacity of our environment. We all must initiate achievable solutions to overpopulation immediately to eliminate the consequences that are occurring at this very moment. An examination of human population growth shows how it has unfavorably affected the environment and offers practical answers to this very complex problem."
