If resources become depleted and other ecosystems are adversely affected, our nation has the potential to suffer as well. In this age of globalization, many people believe that we, as a worldwide community, have a responsibility to get involved and help promote sustainable development around the globe. High population growth generally coincides with low education levels and poor health care. Overpopulation diminishes resources in a country and increases poverty. Overpopulation in South America even impacts the United States due to the increased migration of citizens looking for a better life and a way out of the poverty of their home country.
