Overpopulation is causing a lack of resources due to overuse. As populations increase, more resources are needed for food, housing and energy. This overuse of resources leads to problems like deforestation and lack of food. Conservation of resources through recycling, renewable energy and carbon capture can help address issues stemming from overpopulation.
