World’s overpopulation is the greatest threat faced by humanity at the present time. Do you agree? It is argued that the continuous increase in the planet's population is the biggest issue that human beings are facing. This essay totally agrees with that statement because the overpopulation causes the depletion of natural resources and pollution. The increasing population in the world will lead to the serious running out of planet’s resources. It is the fact that the more people are available in the world, the higher demand for fundamental supplies such as commodities and energy for daily livings. To satisfy the higher requirements from citizens, many countries will exploit the natural resource they owned with the lack of care about paying back to nature as they are busy to resolve the strain of overpopulation. For example, with a very high birth-rate Vietnam is facing the huge problem of how to supply the basic equipment and foodstuffs to their people in some areas and when the help of the state is hard to reach, people would destroy the nature to earn their daily life and cause harms to the environment such as deforestation for farming. Another reason why overpopulation should be considered as the greatest threat because the waste from human world polluted the environment. It is clear that when the number of people over the world increases, the volume of disposals rises and if the disposal or recycle systems are overloaded the wastes are usually simply disposed into the environment. For example, in Vietnam as the number of people was increasing at a fast rate the recycling systems were incapable of recycling the country's waste and few recycling companies illegally disposed the unprocessed waste into local rivers and led to environmental harms such as reduction in biodiversity alongside the rivers, which threaten locals and natural habitat. In conclusion, overpopulation is the greatest threat to human beings because it depletes the planet’s resources and causes harms to nature.
