The topic of population control has been mum in America for numerous reasons. Until recently, organizations, such as the Center For Biological Diversity (CBD), have been advocating for population growth control. As the world welcomed the 7 billionth new member to society yesterday (Monday), advocacy groups are trying to bring light to the issue with hard data. According to the CBD, more people habiting Earth equates to higher amounts of carbon emissions. Although many Americans agree that the population growth here in America is stable compared to that of Asia or Africa, America is one of the worst offenders of carbon emissions. On a macro scale, more people on Earth equates to the higher use of natural resources and land. Animals once protected from extermination might actually go extinct without the proper regulation of population control. Although early in its stage, advocacy groups are working hard to send their critical message across the globe.
