Abstract

The article presents a discussion on several problems faced in the world presently, including overpopulation, absence of communication between several cultures, and food production. Each year fossil fuels are being destroyed at an increasing rate, and a million acres from the cycle of photosynthetic productivity are also being removed. Some of the big consumers of fossil fuels are industrial plants, automobiles, and private homes. It is stated that production planners must evidently aim to delay the age of marriage or spread out the production of children after the first one. According to the author, it is urgent for social and natural scientists to get together and decide the optimum size of human population on this earth.
