Population Growth

 

I was shocked when I saw this video of population growth because it will damage the environment Every 13 years, there are about 1 billion new people in the world. The environment may be the one affected from the population growth because people will need to create more homes, natural resources, foods, and other things. Also, the natural resources and food production will need to increase to satisfy the people's consumption.  The planet's population is expected to increase to 9.6 billion by 2050. In another 50 years, there would be 10.9 billion people in the world. Countries have experienced poor education, bad health,  poverty, low natural resources, economic problems, and others. The future would have more problems than the current problems that the world is facing now such as global warming,  unemployment rates, economic problems, less resources, and other problems.
