Genesis and Disturbed had it right when they said the world has "too many men, making too many problems". The thing is, the number of people born outnumber the people who die. Each day the human population gets larger, while the population of all the things in the natural world gets smaller. How can the we be so selfish, pushing away the forests and the animals just so we can make room for 'major development'. And im sure that alot of people agree with me, but no one is willing to do anything about it. My idea of a perfect world is I AM LEGEND (minus the vampires of course). Animals can roam free without fear and people live for the day, because the next may not be there. We have become to used to our technology to do everything for us while we veg on the couch. Eventually it will come back to bite us, when all the animals are extinct, the trees dead, the air polluted.
The major problem? Sex is a big part. We have to much sex and not enough thinking off the consequences. Families in Africa may number up to 15 people in one home, but we all know they can't afford it.
How do we deal with the problem of overpopulation?
Overpopulation, yes.
Sex = problem, no. People have been having sex for centuries. :)
Unprotected sex, lack of sex education = problem
Advanced health care keeping people alive for longer, curing more diseases, while that's certainly not what I would call a "problem," it certainly is a big contributor to overpopulation.
I've been trying to figure a way to solve this problem for a long time myself. The only thing I can figure... well, I'm never going to have kids of my own. I'll just adopt.

WW III anyone? Solves a bunch of problems. Costs a lot...but no problems.
us humans think that everyone should bow to us when we're the ones destroying the natural world. enough is never enough. enough will be when theres nothing left of the natural world and we have to kill each other to survive
I proposed a solution in my blog entitled
Hunger and tough Love
Nothing is going to change until you force the people who are behaving irresponsibly to live (or die) with the consequences or their behavior.
