What is overconsumption? how does overconsumption mirror overpopulation?

Excessive consumption is understood as an uncritical purchase. Thus, people who buy compulsively do not analyze the social and personal consequences of the purchase.

Explanation:

The warning about the risks of overpopulation has been the subject of books and discussions for many decades. Today the imbalance caused by overconsumption generates international debates, conferences, targets for reducing greenhouse gases, water consumption, installation of clean energy, among other internationally announced commitments.

This is because excessive consumption is made at the expense of natural resources. The more industrialized products are manufactured, the more natural resources are consumed. The more we buy these products, the more they are manufactured.

In view of the improvement in the quality of life and the higher gains, the population consumes a lot and directly interferes in the extraction of resources. In the consumption level data between rich and poor countries, the disparity in which the former vastly outweighs the latter is clear. Not to mention that rich countries encourage the extraction of resources in underdeveloped countries to meet their needs, since their resources have been depleted for a long time.
