Human Population and Our Environment People depend a lot on their environment. Without the latter, the earth would be hotter, and it would be impossible for the human race to survive. However, the 21st century has caused a lot of havoc to the environment much more that technological advances have not only become a necessity, but also a competition for various companies. As such, if I were an environmental researcher and were given funding to assist with one environment problem, I would choose to spend my funds on human population. My choice is influenced by the fact that the world’s population is significantly increasing every single day. As such, it is important that there would be strategies and solutions to be undertaken for the environment …show more content…

In each decade since about 1860, the Atchafalaya River had drawn off more water from the Mississippi than it had a decade before. By the late 1940’s the volume approached one-third, as the Atchafalaya widened and deepened, eroding headword, offering the Mississippi an increasingly attractive alternative, it was preparing for nothing less than absolute capture: before long it would take all of the Mississippi, and itself become the master stream. The Mississippi River with its sand and silt, has created most of Louisiana, and it could not have done so if it stayed in one channel. If it had only stayed in one channel southern Louisiana would be a long narrow peninsula reaching into the Gulf of Mexico.

Jonathan Swift’s essay, A Modest Proposal, is famous for satirically suggesting that people start selling their babies for food, which would logically solve the overpopulation and starvation problem in the world. Despite this less than feasible solution, overpopulation is a serious problem in the world, given that there are over seven billion people alive currently. The excessive amount of people living in this world has an adverse effect on both society and the environment. The environment has been destroyed by human pollution and is depleted of natural resources due to the sheer amount of materials needed to support such a large population. In fact, many plastic water bottles used by people are discarded as trash and pollute bodies of water (Soechtig & Lindesy, 2009).
