The Environment
Due to unsustainable growth and high consumption rates, the United States must consider the impact that over population has on the environment.
The Population
To date the U.S. has become the third most populous nation in the world, and has the fastest growth rate of any industrialized nation.
Labor & Economics
Current policies which flood the market with low-wage workers create unfair competition and reduce wages for all workers.
The World
Because the U.S. is growing at an unsustainable rate, U.S. population growth and over consumption has enormous implications for world-wide sustainability.
