Continual population growth creates more noise. This ultimately solutions as short-term band-aids as more people are using the same limited resources - including our national parks. Our federal government has the ability to address this issue by reducing immigration-driven population growth, which accounts for 88% of U.S. population growth.
As net migration continues to grow the U.S. population, the demands for housing and food increase. A recent study shows that scientists have underestimated the amount of land and water needed for agriculture as the United States loses three acres of land every minute to development.
The solution to more is not more; it's less. We add 1.5 million more people to the roadways every year. How many more roads can we build, paving over open spaces along the way, before we run out of space? Imagine in 2065 when an additional 103 million people are using our roadways and transit systems. How many days per year will the average American spend commuting when that number becomes a reality?
