Population Control

...

75% of the world is covered in water. And about 98% of that is ocean water leaving only about 2% to be freshwater. Then 70% of that 2% of freshwater is divided into glaciers and ice caps while the remaining 30% is split amongst rivers, lakes, ponds and groundwater. Most of the freshwater resources are hard to get to or they’re too dirty for consumption, leaving less than 1% of planet Earths fresh water which is equivalent to about 0.003% of all water on Earth ready for direct human use. If there were fewer humans to provide water for, the fact that "by 2025, more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability and human demand for water will account for 70% of all available freshwater" wouldn’t seem like that much of a problem. (Overpopulation Effects) According to a report done in November 2009 by the 2030 Water Resources Group, water is being used 10 times faster than it is being replenished all over the world. Which means we are using more of it than we are saving. If people were to have access to contraception there wouldn’t be such a rapid increase in the human population growth. With access to condoms and birth control, the increase in human population would be seized and sustained, preventing any chances of harmfully effecting the environment.

Therefore, population control, or educating the people and giving them access to contraception’s will not only further their knowledge and deeper their understanding of sex and being parents, it’ll help the issue of human overpopulation. The fewer people on Earth, the fewer harmful gas emissions that occur; the fewer people on Earth, the fewer people there are to provide water for (more water availability).
