"So why should we care about population growth in the world, in China, in the United States, or anywhere else? The primary reason is that each of us depends on the earth's life-support systems to meet our basic needs for air, water, food, land, shelter, and energy as well as our needs for a number of other natural resources that we use to produce an incredible variety of manufactured goods.
As our population grows and incomes rise, we use more of the earth's natural resources to satisfy our growing wants, and this increases our ecological footprints. The result can be degradation and depletion of the natural capital that keeps us alive and supports our lifestyles and economies."
