2. What do you think? Can Earth's resources support our growing population? After reading pages

66-67, and learning about both sides of the debate, what are your thoughts on this issue? Can
Earth continue to sustain its population? Or will population growth soon outpace resources and
the Earth's carrying capacity? Be specific, and give examples to support your arguments!

There is a possibility that we could outgrow earths resources, but the way the world is, we could also minimize. In order for us to outgrow, we will have to stop killing and going to war. The resources the earth has grow over and over and over again. The population numbers goes up and down. We can’t be sure if we will outgrow the resources or not but the possibility that we will is there. In my overall defense we are more than likely won’t because we keep killing each other off or what crazy illnesses, take over like the flu , monkeypox,influenza etc.
