On Halloween, the world's 7 billionth person will be born. While population growth has slowed in most regions around the world, the population still increases by nearly 80 million people every year. That's the equivalent of adding a new United States every four years, and it's putting strain of families, communities and governments around the world. With many people already starving and habitats being destroyed at a rapid rate for resources, food, and housing, should we keep on multiplying as we have been, or reduce pressure on our world, and each other, by cutting back? If each couple limits their family to two, our population will stabilize (or reduce if we we limit ourselves to one).
