Have you ever thought to yourself that bringing a child into this world is actually slowly killing us? It's insane and absurd, but it's true. The population in this world is rapidly growing, and no one is doing anything about it. Most people would say to themselves what's wrong with a huge population, but the real question is, what isn't going to go wrong with a population of 7,191,861,730 and growing.

"If the present population growth and other trends continue, over the next 60 years, urbanization will diminish our arable land base of 470 million acres by 120 million acres." (http://www.enviroalternatives.com/popfacts.html) This means that farms that are growing our food are going to slowly decrease to close to nothing. What's going too happened to a world with a high population and a low supply of food, besides the obvious, (people dying out of starvation). Situations like this would get the humans uncomfortable and crimes will rise. People would go out of their ways and fight for their lives for something to munch on, or just simply go out and steal it.

For example, people are so lazy now a days that to go to the corner store we hop in our cars to drive there. Not knowing that driving is also killing our world with all its pollution into the atmosphere. Imagine with this massive
