Overpopulation is the world's most serious environmental problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

One of the largest issues all over the world nowadays is the concern towards the

environment

. While some argue that

overpopulation

gives the most serious impact on the

environment

, I personally do not think that

overpopulation

affects nature on its own, but rather the way in which human beings choose to live in their life brings several drawbacks against the greens. Turning to the transportation

that is

deeply entwining with our daily activities, overuse of cars are obviously harmful to the

environment

due to exhaust fumes that will result in deforestation. The problem of

this

is not that

people

use automobiles frequently, but the fundamental issue is the fact that

people

opt for vehicles even they have an alternative method for a commune

that is

more eco-friendly to the

environment

.

For example

, one of the cities in Chiba in Japan introduced a free-cycling station taking into account the environmental concerns.

However

Add a comma

,However

show examples

the scheme was not well prevailed among the population since they prefer to use cars for their convenient reasons.

This

clearly reflects the truth that

people

are likely to be prone to choose an easier way for their own sake.

Furthermore

, in terms of environmental problems, economic system factors are a more serious problem than

overpopulation

. To be clear, even there are a few populations or decrease trends in one’s country, dependency on industrial activities for its economy harms the

environment

.

For instance

, the Japanese population has been gradually decreasing over the two decades, but

on the other hand

, the environmental issue has not yet been resolved. One of the main reasons for

this

is because the Japanese economy is heavily relying on manufacturing and industry. As long as

people

require more and more in terms of quantity and quality, factories would continue to run with exhaust fumes for 24 hours 365 days.

This

example as well clearly demonstrates that humankind’s inherent traits for better life create issues against nature. In conclusion, I do not agree with the view that

overpopulation

is the most critical reason for the environmental issue. The problem comes from the way of living by humans.
