It's not hard to understand that the earth is sick when you see this:

Yeah, and if you notice you can see where the most riches are and where the pours are. Africa is a big continent and with a huge population but is almost dark with no lights on

really sad!!! Last year I read an article and it was saying about one country! I can't really remember! What I remember is that at night the goverment switched off the electricity power stations to avoid the light pollution!!! I wish that could happen in my country too!!!

That would be great, but very hard to happen because hospitals need energy to help people

[armadillo]

It did happen actually,in one island,and some guys at the hospital had a really bad time...They should do sth about houses and other industries...make them use less electricity...I dunno

[daim]

I think they could provide electricity for some servises( like hospital). Couldn't that happen? Like keep one power plant on, so it can provide electricity for these specified services?

Well we cant cut off our electricity at night. But we can stop to use every acres of the world. Overpopulation is just a big threat to the world as global warming is.

[daim]

Agree to that, but global warming will affect us emediatelly!!! I just saw in the news that athens and madrid will not be able for leaving in 5-8 years because of the heat!!! Athens and madrid will belong to the climate of africa!!!

And maybe even more so considering that humans can populate quicker, and with less energy!
