know that increase has a lot to do with the growing population around the world. Yet, as we continue to grow in numbers of people, we also continue to lack a sufficient amount of natural resources to go around as well as places to absorb all of the waste we create. We have been given natural resources that can be taken for granted so easily because we never think of what life will be like when they’re gone. We have never had to live in a world without them so we need to learn, globally, how to…
