HUMAN POPULATION
AND IT'S EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT |
|
|
|
Human population growth taxes the earth's natural systems.
Forests and wetlands disappear so that people can grow more food, build housing and related infrastructures (more electricity plants, dams, farm lands for animals for human consumption etc).
Water becomes scarce as it is diverted to urban areas and for crop irrigation.
Greenhouse gases are created as more people use greater quantities of fossil fuels.
