overpopulation
causes is the impact that has on the environment.
Although
CO2 emissions have been increasing since the industrial revolution, the current problem is the increase of all

pollution and its contribution directly to the main problem.

However

encourage the population with funding to replace their automobiles with new environmentally friendly ones. Another big problem that
overpopulation
has created is the decrease of resources,
such
as alimentation. Nowadays, there is not enough food for everyone in the way people used to consume.
For instance
, the diet of Western countries includes many animal products, more than would be necessary.

In addition

and both of them are in the hands of humans to be reduced, in order to be able to live in a balanced world, where climate change and resources are not an issue.
