Sorry there is lots of room and enough resources for all. Many have been brainwashed into believing the teachings of the powers that be. There is so much waste and greed that it appears as if there isn't enough but appearances can be deceiving,.... and many have been deceived.

We will simply have to make more renewable resources like i said hemp is great for alot of things and grows like a weed, mostly because it is.
Technology isn't really best for us.
If you are talking to me show me where these resources are???? You just saying so don’t make it true, and room, my area I live in has no more room unless we build up. These resources are largely UN-renewable and our current rate of extracting these resources is struggling with demand. Coal, Oil and gas are all finite, I believe we have hit peak oil and im going to assume you know what that means and its consequences, just look at BP.
There are roughly 7billion people on earth, humans are living longer with better technology, so have a think about what an increasing population are going to do with less resources and what that means for the world.
It is people, who are told to shut up, keep consuming, don’t think about the consequences, who are truly brainwashed my friend.

www.worldhunger.org...
One example - World agriculture produces 17 percent more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70 percent population increase. This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per person per day (FAO 2002, p.9). The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase, enough food.
Poverty creates hunger and starvation not lack of food, poverty resulting from the world economic system, a human creation, which is run with greed and waste.
I am talking about needs not wants, my family of 4 lives in a 2 bedroom apartment, I bus to work... trust me I realize consuming away is part of the problem. You are correct each of us has to do with less and the consumable culture is unsustainable and arguably part of the greed equation.
Some of the info on that site breaks my heart, I think we can all agree that if the wealth of our earth was shared around evenly with our current population level we could all live quiet comfortably, but this is not reality, our energy supply is still finite, our population is still increasing, corporate greed is gaining more power and the people we elect to speak for us are idiots/cowards/in on the cut. Resources have always been mismanaged. I think the only answer I have is to look after yours and your own, live like ya preach and enjoy the ride.

You hear of the elite spouting lies that suggest that the world is over crowded and we need to cull the populace, I suggest they may be spot on with their calculations.
Taking say one continent, I’ll use Australia. Probably because I have aussie buds online and if I had to pick a secondary place to live they say it is beautiful country.
Now the world population is 6,800,000,000 people approximately (source is Wikipedia)
If you argue this you are silly and won’t read this seriously anyway.
Now we use Australia there is 2,967,892 square miles (Source Wikipedia also)
Same thing if you argue you are silly.
Now 1 square mile is 640 acres (Same source plus common sense)
I will stop stating sources as all of this information is common knowledge or quite easy to verify, and that is all that is important to me, as I am not the intellectual type.
I use the K.I.S.S. method Keep It Simple Stupid.
Now that we have a bunch of big numbers let’s do the crunch.
Australia is roughly 2,967,892 square miles and 1 square mile has 640 acres so
2,967,892 square miles x 640 = 1,899,450,880 acres in Australia.
Now we take 1,899,450,880 and divide by the population of the earth which is 6,800,000,000.
1,899,450,880 divided by 6,800,000,000. Is 3.57 persons per acre.
Let’s just call it 4 people per acre to make it a round number as I am not a fan of half people, it just seems barbaric.
So the world’s population could fit inside Australia with 4 people per acre.
I think that is a quarter acre per person in the world man woman child elderly Etc.
So is my math correct? Can you see now that the world is overpopulated?
If we put the world population in Australia.
Otherwise I think we are doing just fine.

The world is only overpopulated if you accept that overpopulation is something to be stopped, as opposed to be adapted to.
Lowe population is retarded. Nothing good comes from fewer people.
