2 the ARTICLE (for teachers) Many couples have two or three children. But in the future, what if the population of the world became too large for the resources because everyone had two or three children? What if humankind's future survival were in danger? Could too many children end the human race? For example, America consumes huge amounts of resources. The ecological footprint of the US is twenty-four acres per person. In other words, one person requires the resources of twenty-four acres of land per year. If everyone on Earth lived like Americans, then we would need the resources of 5.5 planets. On the other hand, China uses fewer resources than America, but they have very high pollution levels. Europe pollutes far too much as well. It should be said that only a few people believe two children per family would cause a problem. The birthrate of developed nations has dropped, and this will happen in other developing countries in the future too. As a result, the global population will eventually stop increasing. And with more green technology in the future, nations will probably pollute less too. The ecological footprint will decline to a more stable and manageable level. Surprisingly, there are some organizations who want humankind to become extinct. Although they support a voluntary end to the human race by stopping reproduction, some wouldn't mind seeing the world spiral out of control. Teacher's Notes: * Underlined words in red typeface are the recommended vocabulary for this lesson. Heads Up English - 1
