We are now in a time of wonder and amazement. Mankind has come a far
way and displays many achievements from it's journey. From the electrical
light to now the newest of all spectacles, the human genome project, the
human race has under gone many changes. As times consistently change,
individuals must change as well, to promote health, freedom, intelligence
and a better more advanced world as we know it.
The human race must now face a problem that has been around longer than
any other and with our current advancements in technology, it's a problem
that wont persist any more. The problem that we're faced with is over
population. The worlds population is now reaching 7 billion and the size
of our planet in not increasing. It took the earth 18 centuries to reach
it's first set on 1 billion people. Since then the population has been
at an extreme increase and in the last 12 years, the population has grown
from 5 billion to over 6 billion people. The rate now is at 76 million
new people per year. 3,500 births every 20 minutes.
The facts are alarming. Forests and animal species are being annihilated
Families are starving to death. Economies are failing. Individuals are
migrating to new counties because their own are to populated. If the numbers
continue in such a manor the population will reach 28 billion in just
50 years. This means that the world as we know it will see complete devastation
with out hope.
