The planet's population is reaching unsustainable levels, and people are facing shortage of resources like water, food and fuel. To what consequences may overpopulation lead? In your opinion, what measures can be taken to fight overpopulation?

It is generally suggested that the population rate has been increasing at an exponential rate, in recent times.

This

could lead to a multitude of adverse effects that might affect humans in all aspects of life, to prevent

worldwide. At a personal level, one should make an effort to reduce

this

trend and act in the best interest of future generations. To conclude, acknowledging the demerits of increasing growth rate and scarcity of resources, one should abide by the regulations set by the

nation

and work towards progress to make the world a better place to live in for the coming generations.
