Ignoring Overpopulation Until Overpopulation Is Impossible To Ignore

      Overpopulation is one of those things that people ignore and push down the road. And then the day comes in which people realize it can no longer be ignored, at which time it is much harder to do anything. Overpopulated areas, especially in vast regions of the world lacking in resources, invariably become crowded, polluted, dirty, noisy, heavy traffic areas where the quality of life is greatly diminished.
       The human population has exploded, leaving behind less forests, less mangroves, less quality agricultural land, less coral reefs, less ocean marine life, less wild fish populations, less wildlife, less large megafauna, less biodiversity.
         Instead, there is more concrete, more contaminated rivers, lakes, streams and oceans, more toxic poisons in the waters and air, more pollution, more religious fanaticism and hate, more ways to kill, more weapons of mass destruction, more nuclear waste, more plastics, styrofoams and other non biodegradable trash destroying the oceans, more degraded lands and seas, more poisoned air, land and water. 
         If it is this bad when there are over 7 billion of us, imagine when soon there will be over 9 billion of us.
