World population

Recently I read an article about a day called world population day that was created in 1987 when the world's population first surpassed 5 billion. The population is now climbing beyond 6.7 billion and is accompanied with decreasing water resources, food production, and many other problems that plague society. If our planet's population rate does not lower significantly soon we will need to completly strip our planet of any and all resources that it contains and then everybody will be gone. I hope that something can be done in the near future to keep our future generations living comfortably.
