Have you ever thought what would happen if the world’s population increased? Well I would say that there would be less food, and more pollution. The purpose of this essay is to show the negative effects that over population can bring to society.

Over population could bring pollution problems. There will be more cars polluting the air. Factories will also be working more to make more of everything. This means that contaminants will go into the atmosphere Also more people means more trash in our society. Landfills will be full and there will be nowhere else to put our trash. This shows that if our society gets bigger and bigger people will continue polluting our society.

As a result of a lot of people will struggle over space. Then, there will not be a lot of oxygen to breathe. Things will be different because things will be gone more easily in stores, so probably in some stores they will run out of food within 2 days. This is the reason factories will have to work even harder day and night. This world it’s not so small, but it will eventually get over populated and a lot of effects will happen according to this problem. Clearly, even if people die each second it doesn’t matter because there is someone born each second too.

Clearly, if overpopulation occurs there will be a lot of effects like struggle over space and pollution problems. As a result, overpopulation creates several conflicts.
