Flexi Says: The human population is now growing by more than 200,000 people a day. The human population may well be close to its carrying capacity, which is a problem. It has already harmed the environment. An even larger human population may cause severe environmental problems. This could lead to outbreaks of disease, starvation, and global conflict. There are three potential solutions: (1) use technology to make better use of resources to support more people, (2) change behaviors to reduce human numbers and how much humans consume, (3) distribute resources more fairly among all the world’s people. The best solution is probably a combination of all three solutions.
