Ben: You could contact a professor of ecology to ask questions about how overpopulation impacts the earth. You could also contact a sociology professor about the impact on humans that overpopulation takes.

Overpopulation

1.) In 28 BC the population was 4,063,000 ( both men and women)
 * In 8 BC - 4,233,000
 * In AD 14 - 4,937,000

2.) Ancient Rome’s population was over one million when the empire was at its most amount of power. 3.) The population was so high that they did not match up with the census that was organized by Augustus. 4.) The adult male population jumped from 200,000 to 400,000 individuals. 5.) Also, the whole male population jumped from four million people to five million 6.) The population of Ancient Rome was rising each year 7.) The overpopulation made the Roman Empire a lot harder to succeed.

Current Solutions, Resources, and Knowledge 1.) One cause of overpopulation can be illegal immigrants coming in which will raise the population. 2.) There is a business that tries to stop illegal immigrants which is called homeland security so there are companies trying to stop overpopulation. 3.) Overpopulation can cause over consumption, exploitation, and lack of resources. 4.) In October of 2011 the worlds population passed 7 billion people. 5.) The U.S is the third largest population behind China and India. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6.)Two places in the U.S is that have overpopulation would be New York and Los Angeles. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">7.) Overpopulation is not a problem if there are enough resources but it is if you run out of resources. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8.)

 * **By 2050 the world’s population will have grown by another 2.5 billion, the same number as lived on the entire planet in 1950.**
 * **Half of the world today is under the age of twenty five.**
 * We add about a million and half people to our world population every week.
 * EDUCATION!!!!!!!!
 * Potential solutions lie in models that focus more on social, informational and service-based "development" than on "growth".
 * If people could afford to feed everyone then it is not known as overpopulating so if everyone in this world is fed then that would not be known as overpopulation.
 * Overpopulation can damage your water sources, can get rid of a lot of food.
 * One solution that we can make happen is choose to have fewer children.
 * Some people think that overpopulation means that we are putting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than we should
