The Future of Nature: 2075

Day 1: Overpopulation

I will be creating a 5 day journey of the world as we see it now in the year of 2011. Hope you guys like it!
This is the year 2100 and I'm standing in a place that was once called, I believe Canada. The constant, daily disasters all around have not only been fustrating and annoying but most of all, it's terrible with the amount of damage that these things have caused. My main concern today is the constant change of global population and how the world is growing at such an exponential rate. It's now gone to 10 billion and I dont' thing Earth can take much more. The demand of goods and services and the natural resources that people need have inflated to a rate that I have never seen before. It's crazy, the effects of overpopulation. Not only that but poverty and political instability is on the verge of becoming a reality.

With this sudden rapid growth of the human population, many are leaving, migrating like birds to different places. Although globalization and economic growth may go up becasue there will be more trading but there are a lot more cons than pros. With that being said, the amount of people affected will be greater since they're all together. The transfer of diseases will rise and overall this may lead to global, national or even world problems.

I just hope that the people there don't make the mistake of moving just for economic growth. There has to be a way to fix this.
