Why does the rise in human population matter? What impact does it have?

• The rise of the human population matters because with more people there will be a demand for more resources. With more of a demand, it could deplete those resources.

• The rise of the human population matters because with more people there will be a demand for less resources. With less of a demand, it could allow for us to have too many resources.

• There is no impact of human population on our Earth, environment, etc
