) A child born today in the United States for instance, will by the age of 75 years produce 52 tons of garbage, consume 10 million gallons of water and use 5 times the energy of a child born in the developing world. The United States uses approximately quarter of the world's fossil fuels and is the largest contributor of carbon dioxide, undesirable combustion products, and chlorofluorocarbons, chemicals that contribute to greenhouse warming and attack the Earth's ozone shield.

If the populations in those countries keeps on expanding how will the people of these countries have food, water, and shelter? This is something that we need to realize. People are dying of hunger everyday. What can we do about it in 20 years when there's hardly enough resources for everyone?.
