Resource Consumption and Population Pressure

Resource consumption refers to the use of natural resources, such as water, food, and energy, to meet the needs of a population. As the population grows, demand for these resources increases, putting pressure on the environment. This can lead to overexploitation of resources, habitat destruction, and pollution, threatening ecosystems and human well-being. Balancing population growth with sustainable resource management is crucial for maintaining a healthy planet and ensuring future generations can thrive without depleting the Earth's resources. Understanding this relationship helps us address environmental challenges effectively.
