Human use exhausts Earth


Website/URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2062729.stm

Summary:
The article is about how humans are using up all the resources on earth. Scientists said that in 1961 humans were using 70% of the capacity of the global biosphere. By 1999, that had risen to 120%.. They say humanity's footprint on the planet has increased by half in under 40 years. The information in this article is explaining how humans are using more resources than past years. The breathing spaces are declining so the population must be increasing majorly over the years and will continue to increase. People’s ecological footprint is increasing more and more every year. This must be took under control
Opinion:
I think that we as humans need to take control of our own responsibilities and not take things for Granit. All of our resources are being used up quickly. We need to have a sustainable development so that we will have resources for future generations to come. If we do not care for our resources and stop using them up when we don’t absolutely need them, especially the non-renewable resources, it may not affect us on earth today but it will have a major impact on our children and grandchildren. If this trend continues then one day there will be few resources on earth
