Sustaining Population

What is population?

It's simple. Population is the the rate of people living in a community.



The earth is currently supporting over 7 billion people ever than before and it is still growing at a large number of people. According to Population Growth and Renewable Resource Management the challenge of sustaining people and the environment, "It is a triumph that advances in human skills, technology and modern energy enable us to reduce death and disease, and increase productivity of the
world's resources to such an extent. On the other hand, sustaining this enormous and
growing population involves an unprecedente Qassault on the natural environment. We are
degrading life's three essentials, clean water, air and land; running down non-renewable
resources, such as oil and minerals; over-exploiting renewable resources, grasslands, soil,
forest and fish; and interfering with our most fundamental but least understood ecosystems,
the oceans and stratosphere. The question is whether the planet can continue to sustain
growing populations, or is reaching the limits of its human carrying capacity. Worse,
humankind might not only reach, but reduce those limits: by over-exploiting natural
resources we may be permanently reducing the earth's capacity to sustain us."

How do we sustain population?

We can sustain population through family planning and women can use contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. When it comes to sustaining population the country of China is one example of it. Because of the governments one child policy, they are somehow able to control the growth of the population in their country. The control of the population starts at the smallest unit of the community.
Nowadays teenagers are very sexual active unlike before. One other way that you can control population is Abstinence, which includes not sexual interaction until marriage.
