Every single human on earth could fit on the island of Honolulu.

I won't pick on you because you think Honolulu is an island. However, I will challenge your contention that human population doesn't need to be controlled.

It isn't the sheer number of humans on the planet that is the main problem. It's our use of resources and our activities that affect the environment.

We have to eat and drink, we need shelter and recreation. We are transforming the planet and eliminating habitats for other species.

In fact, so many species are disappearing that environmental scientists are calling the current period, the Anthropocene, the sixth great extinction of life on earth.
