Overpopulation

I was thinking that it might be an interesting exercise to create a website that consists of nothing but baby tickers widgets. The number would increase by one widget every time the estimated human population increases. I have decided not to actually make this website. I am lazy.

When I looked around for information about overpopulation, I was surprised to find that it is a very contentious issue. It seems to make sense to me that the Earth would be better off with fewer humans consuming resources and creating pollution. It seems to make sense that people would be better off if there were fewer of us. According to a lot of people, overpopulation is not something that we should be alarmed about.
