The population of Earth as of 3/09/2023 is 7.88 Billion people. There have been concerns about overpopulation from scientists for decades, and some of them are stating that the Earth can support 10 billion people with current technologies. However, that number can grow if humans can create technologies that make human needs more efficient. Here are some things that can reduce environmental damage to the Earth caused by humans currently:
1) Renewable energy - Using carbon-neutral energy sources can significantly reduce the number of pollutants and carbon released into the atmosphere. The most significant driver of Climate Change is caused by burning Fossil Fuels.
2) Global Co-Operation - Historically, humans have a proclivity to get into conflict with each other. In the past, these conflicts were localized to specific regions, but as their technology has increased, so has the destructive potential of their weaponry. If humans do not tame their destructive desires, their conflicts could significantly harm Earth.
3) Proper Disposal of Plastics - Plastics take thousands of years to break down naturally, and many countries are disposing of these plastics in damaging ways, like Ocean Dumping. More emphasis should be placed on responsible plastics disposal.
