Is the world overpopulated and what can we do to solve the problem?"
(Edited)
Dear readers, we are about to participate in another question of the week, sponsored by @ecotrain, for this interesting question we have a precise answer, we do not believe that despite birth rates the world is overpopulated, but we do believe that the world is overexploited, bringing with it special phenomena from the political, social, environmental and economic spheres that come from production models that have led to the decrease of natural resources that significantly affect the survival of human beings on planet earth.
The globalized model of production has generated an economy based on the accelerated consumption of products due to a programmed obsolescence planned by the large transnationals whose objective is to remain in the market registering more money every day at any cost. In addition, they have used social networks as global media to strengthen large media campaigns based on marketing so that their products are purchased and replaced quickly.
In this sense, some countries are experiencing problems related to poverty and the deterioration of natural resources, which have been generated by inappropriate development models, which have led to the indebtedness of countries, due to the commercial and financial relations they have with capitalist entities, causing negative social and environmental impacts. In summary, the globalization of excessive production seeks to impose economic interests over different social and environmental situations, leaving countries subordinated to the capitalist economy
Then the term overpopulation would not be referred to in terms of number of people per land area, it would be expressed in number of people by excessive levels of consumption, where some of those affected are the countries that have large reserves of natural resources, some of them have been plundered excessively to meet the consumerist needs of some developed countries.
Now, if that is the problem, how could I solve it? from our point of view the solution is simple, you just need to have the will and courage to implement it, we bet on sustainable development proposed worldwide in all areas of economic, the problem is that it is not applied in masses and that this paradigm is ignored, some people think it is a romantic way of seeing things, but I think it is a comprehensive way to look at our lives composed of economic, environmental, social and political.
To make sustainable development a reality, I would strengthen legal and educational methods, unfortunately sometimes it seems that the human being understands more by force, when I speak of force I mean feeling obliged to comply with certain laws, I would propose laws that carry fines for all types of companies in any area of production, for this, there are many trained professionals who can provide great solutions in different areas.
I would also increase educational models through social networks, we must make use of these spaces and create laws so that each social network is forced to socialize everything related to environmental education and the sustainable model. I know that some steps have been taken in this regard, but it seems that it is not enough, it must be transmitted that the sustainability of nature and the population is required, nature is the support of our life and subsistence, sustaining nature implies maintaining the integrity of natural processes.

In short, sustainable development is an opportunity for life, in which an exchange of ideas is proposed for the development of models of environmental recovery in various economic activities, considering everything that surrounds us, studying our environment well, since the global models of production and consumption are not adapted to the characteristics of each natural ecosystem.

this is an excellent way of looking at the problem and looking at it from that angle the solution is both simple and extremely complex. Simple because it just needs people to understand the importance of being sustainable and complex because it requires humanity to stop being selfish.

Hello dear @lipe100dedos, it is true what you mention, we have to stop being selfish, destructive modes of production and cosumism is very high.
See you later, have a great week.
I have no idea how we got here.. but certainly the only way to try to reverse the damage we've caused is to think collectively and in the long term. I look forward to your next content :)
You have received a 1UP from @lipe100dedos!

I do tend to agree with you that the problem is one of over-exploitation rather than overpopulation. I believe that if resources are used intelligently and in a sustainable manner it would be a huge plus. Also, I think that you’re right about the fact that these tenets might need to be enforced by law, which is quite sad. Another area that can lead to improved resource management is education, as you so rightly say. Thank you for posting in the EcoTrain community.
Hello dear @itsostylish, there is no doubt that today we have seen strong climatic changes and excessive increase in the consumption of products, especially technology, we generate a large amount of waste, in addition to other factors associated with models that threaten the biodiversity of ecosystems.
Thank you for your appreciation, have a great week.
