As human beings, we use natural resources for everything. We rely on them a lot. But, because we use them so much, we are running out. We use our resources so fast, we cant grow them back as fast as we take them out. If we keep this up, the world as we know it will be gone. For example, it takes about a year and a half to regrow a forest, but we are using it up in a year. Already, we have used 80% of our worlds original forest. I chose to use overconsumption because I believe it is one of the biggest problems that face our planet today. I think its really important to inform everyone that we need to stop over consumption. This is an issue people all over the world should be aware of, because it effects everyone, in a good way or bad.
As you can see, the united stated is responsible for 21% of the worlds resource consumption. Leaving the rest of the world 79% of the resources... based on how many people we have in this world, we are not giving out resources fairly, or sustainably.
