We need to listen to the facts over all the noise
The amount of anthropogenic noise is increasing with far reaching effects, but we are not yet able to understand to which extent. Recently, researchers have uncovered alarming connections between exposure to unwanted noise and cardiovascular health for those that live in urban areas. This raises additional concerns as to how wildlife is impacted and what it means for the long term health of our ecosystems. Our National Sprawl Study points out that our population growth, which is primarily driven by Congress's immigration policies, only worsen the issue.

While technological advances can help mitigate the problem, as long as our population continues to climb, many of these gains will not be realized solely because there are more people consuming finite natural resources.

More bad water news
Water is quickly being depleted by a growing U.S. population. This is placing an increased demand on rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater for drinking water, farming, and industrial production. This precious resource deserves our protection, stewardship, and care. Yet, our government officials have turned a blind eye to the crucial component of doing so, which is to cut immigration to the U.S.

Immigration is a "cheat code" to grow the economy, but it isn't cheap
Adding more consumers to a high-consumption nation is an easy way to make the economy bigger, but the costs to wage earners and innovation is significant, and - at a point in which there is growing recognition and concern about imperiled biodiversity - irresponsible.
