Because our population is at 7 billion and growing, we need to cut down more trees to make more land for living on and

growing food.

With 7 billion people we need to drill for more oil so that there is enough petrol for all the cars.

The earth can hold 7 billion people now and will be able to support any number of humans in the future

With a human population of 7 billion, we need to protect endangered species habitats by not building on them
