-Global issues states that the existing problem is the mass consumption and coming from Europe and America.That puts a strain on environmental natural resources. That affects the society.
-Industries are constantly changing patterns due to mass consumption.

-below global issues site gives stats about global consumption of some countries on energy.Per capital energy consumption of selected countries-Global issues states that the existing problem is the mass consumption and coming from Europe and America.That puts a strain on environmental natural resources.

-As you can see the United States consume toughs the most after Germany

-The wealthiest countries consume the most.

-The wealthier countries are in massive need of the cash crops(bananas,sugar,)

-Countries even the US has to clear land to start raising cows or planting, farming to produce.

-The us holds a 5% of the the global population and yet they consume 40% of consumption and resources and emits 21% of carbon  dioxide .

-They also state even though the US isn't the most populated they consume the most.

-Another site people and planet states that at this rate we are putting alot of pressure on the companies who are producing masses to take measure to find a faster way to produce.Which can lead to messing with ecosystems with damaging results.

-from 1972-2011 2.5 billion food sources are needed more now than ever.

-As our population grows means more jobs to create and more ideas to be created.

-That leads to human daily activities can affect and destroy 11% globes arable land(size of china and India combined)

-Farmers will then have to feed 77 million more people with 27 billion fewer tons of topsoil.

-by 2030 60 billion people will live in towns in cities.
