Some cities are so crowded that people sleep between the lanes of the highways or live in boxes. Can we produce enough food for everyone? Is there room for all of us? And what effect does the increasing population have on the animals and plants in the world?
Is overpopulation just a temporary problem? Some countries are already experiencing underpopulation, with a birth rate lower than replacement. Will the population of the whole world decline in the future? Have people lost interest in having children? Will the number of humans steadily decrease until there is only one person left, who perhaps will be bitten by a poisonous snake?
Which scenario worries you most? Come and discuss population over the fence without too many neighbors. Bring a barbeque and your friends!
