Human Overpopulation

Most of us are used to hearing about animal overpopulation.  We rarely hear about the problem of human overpopulaton and its effect on the planet. We are are taught to be fruitful and multiply. There are those among us who believe that children are an asset or a source of security in our old age. Many among us have children for the sake of having children without even the means to care for them. These beliefs may have been appropriate thousands of years ago but are no longer. The Earth has limited resources and therefore can only sustaine a certain number of people without causing negative consequences. Humans have far surpassed this limit. We are continuously developing new land for human occupation. In doing so we are destroying the planets ability to sustain us. Already many of the species of fish we eat as food are becoming more difficult to find. With the Gulf Oil Disaster this problem will become even more severe. Despite what has been reported, most of the oil is still in the Gulf.

There is a website which I have been studying for a number of years which offers an abundance of facts and information related to this issue as well as many other issues we are facing: http://www.theyfly.com/. I encourage everyone to keep an open mind and visit this site.
