This enormous increase of population will create immense problems. By A. D. 2000, unless something desperate happens, there will be as many as 7,000,000,000 people on the surface of this earth! So this is a problem which you are going to see in your lifetime. Why is this enormous increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and the practice of what is coming to be called Death Control. You have heard of Birth Control? Death Control is something rather different. Death Control recognizes the work of the doctors and the nurses and the hospitals and the health services in keeping alive people who, a few years ago, would have died of some of the incredibly serious killing diseases, as they used to be. Squalid conditions, which we can remedy by an improved standard of living, caused a lot of diseases and dirt. (http://www.linksukstore.com/sweetie-c-187.html)

Imagine the position if you and I and everyone else living on earth shared the surface between us. How much should we have each? It would be just over twelve acres. But not all that is useful land which is going to produce food. ...
... We can cut out one-fifth of its which is covered with ice and snow. Then we can cut out another fifth as being too dry. Then we can cut out another fifth as being too mountainous or with too great an elevation above sea level. Then we can cut out another tenth as land which has insufficient soil, probably just rock at the surface. Now, out of the twelve acres only about four are left as suitable for producing food. But not all that is used. It includes land with enough soil and enough rainfall or water, and enough heat which, at present, we are not using. How much are we actually using? Only a little over one acre is what is required to support one human being on an average at the present time.

Now we come to the next point, and that is, the haves and the have-nots amongst the countries of the world. The standard share per person for the world is a little over twelve acres per head; and actually used about 1.1 acre. We are very often told in Britain to take the United States as an example of what is done or what might be done. Every little American is born into this world with a heritage of the home country, the continental United States, of just about the world overage—about twelve acres.( http://www.linkslondon4lover.com/silver-chain-c-146.html)

Now turn to our own country. Including land of all sorts, there is just over one acre per head in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. That is why we have to be so very careful with it. How much do we actually use? The story is much the same if you separate off Northern Ireland and Scotland and just take England and Wales.
