In the article “ Global Overpopulation” by Cara Swann she mentions the modern problems because of the overpopulation and the control of the population as a solution. First, the overpopulation problems such as traffic jam, high crime rate, extinction of animal species, environment damage, rapid climate changes, global warming, depletion of ozone, deprivation for the wild animals of natural habitats, soil erosion, deforestation, water pollution and people high consumption are threats that the people should be concerned about in order to save our human beings. If we look at the statistics, we find that the increase of the population is 3 humans every second and the loss of rainforest acres is 1,5 caters each second. Also, the U.S people are only 5% of the population in the world, but their consumption of the world energy is 25%. The worker women always have fewer children than the housewives. People should understand that the growth of population should be stopped by birth control or natural disasters. If the high birth rate does not decrease, poverty and homelessness will be very common in America. Finally, the author thinks that the birth-free is good gift that people should experience.

The world can deal with the overpopulation by several ways. First, limiting the number of children that every couple can have. Second, keeping the population growing with depending on different kind of energy instead of oil. Finally, the Governments should make more efforts to educate and aware people about the overpopulation and its effects on our world.

Limiting the number of children is a way that we can use in order to stop the fast birth rate. Fist, the government can put rules that don’t allow for couple to have more than two children because the tow children are enough to replace their parents. If the couple don’t fallow this rule they could pay more tax Second, the governments can promote having fewer children by create program that any couple can be in if they signs on that they would not have more than two children (the replacement fertility rate people). In this program the participated family can get many facilities. For example, they can get some money that can help them in raising their children; they can get free doctor’s instructions in order to treat their children in the right way. Finally, the government can let the third child who the couple would have serve in the army, so the couple would decide to not have more that two children in order to avoid having one member of their family serving in the army.

Depending on different kind of energy would decrease the damages in the environment because of the high using of oil and keep the population growing. First, the word economy these days is depending on oil and that create huge problems such as rapid climate changes, global warming, depletion of ozone. Therefore in order to stop the huge use of oil we should do several things. First, develop a certain type of energy that can be using instead of oil such as solar energy or nuclear energy. Second, create new cars that depend on other kinds of energy shush cars work by water, solar energy or electricity. Finally, stop using of plastic bags, spoons, plats and any thing that made of oil only if it was something that you will not throw away directly after one time using.

Governments should play strong roles to treat with the overpopulation problems. First, they should teach the students in school about the expected dangers that we would face if the population still growing. Second, they should make the companies pay higher taxes if the use of their products would damage the environment. Finally, use the media to inform people about the damages that we have done in the environment and aware them about the damages that we will cause in the environment if the population still growing.

By limiting the number of children, depending in another energy resource and more effort from the government we cane wisely deal with the overpopulation and ease its effects in the environment. The government should start work in order to stop the overpopulation before any disaster happen. The people should start to plane threes instead of use its wood to build houses.
