How Much Human Population Should Be Earth?

Currently the number of people in the world has reached 7 billion inhabitants.

The total is a very large amount. But how much capacity can Earth accommodate?

Overpopulation. the phrase is a topic in the discussion among WHO (World Health Organization) because at this time the Earth has accommodated a very large population.

But is that number a huge sum that Earth can hold?

It is very clear that the size of Earth is unlikely to increase. There is only a small amount of land left on earth, excluding the remaining natural resources such as food, water, and energy sources.

The decisive factors that support the human population of life on Earth are also diminishing, so the rapid growth of human populations is a kind of threat to the welfare of the planet.

The answer to that question explained by David Satterthwaite as senior in the International Institute for Environment and Development in England says it is not a question of the number of people on the planet that matter.

But more focus on the number of people who consume, and the scale of how humans spend all these natural resources.

As quoted from Gandhi's phrase: "The earth has the capacity to accommodate all the numbers of people, but not enough to accommodate the greed of mankind."

Based on predictions from the United Nations (UN) data states that the population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and will reach more than 11 billion people in 2100, quoted through the site bbc.com

Human growth is growing rapidly. Carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from urban consumption, a contributor to toxic gases, are one cause that excessive consumption by human populations causes Earth damage.

According to Diana Ivanova, a lecturer at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim explained, changing the daily consumption habits can have a drastic effect on the environment.

If the habits of living environmentally friendly and not greedy can be applied then, the question of what the load can be accommodated Earth even though it has reached 11 billion is not the main problem.

Nevertheless mankind must also control the stability of the global population to remain on the scale of about 9 billion people.

Although some mention that the capacity of the earth's capacity is only about no more than 2-4 billion inhabitants. But until now the world population has reached 9 billion break the perception.

Earth is the only planet and home for mankind and it has become a must do to live better to maintain the resilience of planet Earth.

Consumption is not excessive and reduce lifestyles are not environmentally friendly and maintain the sustainability of the Earth could be a way for the Earth to be a safe place to live.
