How many humans currently live on our plant?
“There could be 11 billion people by Many scientists predict that Earth does not have the resources necessary to adequately provide for a population this large.”
1 billion people malnourished NOW
Industrialized/ “developed” nations consuming most of earth’s resources (food, energy)
Great damage to environment in the attempt to feed, house, and care for 11 billion people

6. What is one way to limit population growth?
Solution 2
