Population & Resources (Essential Questions 4&5)

4. What are the effects of humanities counsumption of the worlds resources?
Answer: Well, I think the countries that have enough money to counsume the worlds resources. Those are the countries where the people get a lot of more resources than they are supposed to get just because they have a lot of money. For example US is getting a lot of resources that they are supposed to be getting. And they are getting all that benifit just because they have a lot of money. But China and India Have more population than US but they are just using the resources that are needed for the people in that country they don't go on buying more things than that is needed. So if US buys so many extra resources then the countries with really less money can't afford important and necessary resources for the people in their country and in the other side countries like America are spending their money on unessary resources.

5. What are possible solutions to problem associated with the population trends and use of resources?
Answer: The massive growth of population can be slowed down a little bit if people did a little bit of family planning before taking a really important or big step in their lives.
And I think countries should only use the amount of resources that is need for their country, and not buy extra resouces that are not really needed for their country and they are just buying it because they have enough money to buy it. But they should give the money to the countries that need it and not waste in on useless things.!!!
