Taking action against the entire issue of overpopulation is a daunting task with no real immediate action available to create a notable difference. Actions to take toward population involve controversial decisions such as limiting the amount of kids parents can have or the even more controversial practice of euthanizing people. The one action I can take to combat the problem overpopulation creates would be to raise awareness towards the causes and effects that comes from overpopulation and how people's livelihoods change because of an ever growing population in non-growing environments. Creating awareness towards the ever growing problem of overpopulation should be able to stabilize population growth as well as decrease or remove the use of more controversial methods to stabilize the population such as assisted suicide. Thus, my action would be a start towards stabilizing population growth to eliminate the problems that stem from overpopulation.
