Population Bomb

Population growth is a problem as there are just too many people competing with each other, and with the other species on Earth, for land and resources. This is aggravated by many people wanting the "Western" (read United States) lifestyle they see.
==Note==
An important point is that much of the population in the West is old which is putting a strain on social and family systems to support the elderly.
