OVERPOPULATION

This is a summary of the article overpopulation by students in Science 7E. This summary was writen by Tyler, Ellie, Marlaina, Bobby, and Sara. It is from CNN News.

In many countries like India and China there is overpopulation. Many people think that this will cause reduction of resources and that people will not get the proper standards for living. For example, water is a big problem people are not getting enough and if they do get it is not clean. Already people are getting sick and dieing. One disease that is affecting many people is HIV and AIDS. Environmentalists are concerned that the rapid growing human populations are affecting deforestation, desertification, air pollution and global warming. Also, the more people the countries have the more waste and it is harder to control and they don’t have enough places to hold the waste. One idea that China came up with is a birth control. They made a law that families are only allowed to have one child, which is very effective because then the population should go down. At the rate of people being born right now overpopulation is a big problem that needs to be addressed.
