Are eight billion humans too many for planet Earth? As we reach this milestone on November 15, most experts say the bigger problem is the overconsumption of resources by the wealthiest residents. So, are there too many of us for Earth to sustain? Many experts say that this is the wrong question. Instead of the fear of overpopulation, we should focus on the overconsumption of the planet's resources by the wealthiest among us.
The author of this article, Amélie BOTTOLLIER-DEPOIS, adds a different slant on the use of and misuse of earth's resources by humans and where the issues really are. I'm still processing the authors point. What do you think?
