Expansion: Chapter 2: Overpopulation
MISSION: OVERPOPULATION: EXPANSE NEEDED By 2025 there were 8 billion people sharing this blue planet we call home. By 2075 that number was 10 billion. Now it is 2100 and we have surpassed 12 billion residents. We are killing our home, no matter what efforts we make. It was never meant to support this many of us.
