Environmental Effects On The Environment

The Earth can only have some many resources before that are totally depleted, in recent years overpopulated by sheer numbers and that this is the major cause of environmental degradation. While populations can burden the environment, it is the relative impact of population numbers alone versus why and how resource are used that we wish to consider here today consumption is undermining the environmental resource base. It is exacerbating inequalities. And the dynamics of the consumption-poverty-inequality-environment nexus are accelerating. If the trends continue without change - not redistributing from high-income to low-income consumers, not shifting from polluting to cleaner goods and production technologies, not

Intensive breeding of livestock and poultry for such restaurants leads to deforestation, land degradation, and contamination of water sources and other natural resources. For every pound of red meat, poultry, eggs, and milk produced, farm fields lose about five pounds of irreplaceable top soil. The water necessary for meat breeding comes to about 190 gallons per animal per day, or ten times what a normal Indian family is supposed to use in one day, if it gets water at all. the demand for things like Junk-food chains and more land to produce food can have enormous impacts on the environment and its sustainability. The natural resources that we have are not in abundance as we may think, we must recycle what we can in are

Instead, more readily observable tangibles, such as large population sizes where there is poverty, hunger, disease, environmental degradation, etc. are used as “proof” that these symptoms result from growing populations and the demands they place on the environment. Furthermore, as a result, the cases of population growth and declines are often also missed out. Poverty in many areas has led to population growth as a means for economic survival, as extra hands may provide a better chance of getting out of poverty. Declines as well as growths are affected by various environmental, political, economic and social circumstances. And, as mentioned, things like family planning are only workable when these underlying circumstances are changed, such that family planning knowledge can be made use of. Solutions such as family planning, on their own do not consider factors about how populations grow. Instead, they address what is commonly seen as ecological degradation, where it is assumed that it is due to population growth, without understanding why populations grow. (And this still needs further research no doubt. Poverty often results in other symptoms of such as widespread disease and outbreaks that could have been
