Humans are locusts....... As soon as we work this out, and control the earths population, then this would be a no issue.
We are using resources at an alarming rate, the only way for us to keep growing and use resources at this rate, is to become locusts and move onto the next area to strip out all the resources and move on!
Step back and think about it..... humans are just big locusts..... we are eating this earth out of house and home for resources!!
