2010 Topic:Create a Print Advertisement appropriate for a magazine or newspaper. Ads must be at least 100 words but not more than 200 words. Your ad should persuade the general public to support programs that are designed to slow, halt and eventually reverse population growth.
Let's face it-Less is more.What if you were told that through limiting population growth, you would be supporting sustainability and a better future for the children of this world? What if you were told that limiting population growth isn't a horrific, undemocratic tactic, but rather, a smart and responsible decision? What if you were told that through stabilizing the population, we'd be able to limit consumption, lessen overcrowding, and feed more people?
Less is more.
We don't need more voices, we just need to speak louder, and loudly advocate for societal change: for the good of the world and our children. If you want to stand up and learn more about the benefits of limiting population growth, visit Negative Population Growth at www.npg.org today.
Overburdened, stressed, and ready for change.
THE GOOD NEWS: YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
With out-of-control population size and growth, the United States is experiencing unprecedented problems. It seems that each year it takes less time to fly across the ocean and longer to drive to work! The roads, schools, and police forces cannot sustain an additional 2.9 million people each year. Our forests and farmlands are abandoned in favor of housing developments and strip malls.The reason is simple: Overcrowding
The answer is easy: visit www.NPG.org
Learn how you can help and become one of more than 25,000 Americans supporting the Negative Population Growth Organization. Together, we will ensure that our future generations will inherit a healthy and clean environment where all Americans can enjoy a quality standard of living.

The Dangers of a Growing Population
Why you should support negative population growth?
Most of the problems the United States is facing right now can be attributed to its massive population, and the rate at which it is growing. Howmuch bigger can America grow, before there aren't enough resources tosurvive on? How much more can the population of America expand, beforethere isn't enough space to support the people?
In case your concern level isn't rising markedly, consider these statistics...
- The American population clock is ticking towards 310 million
- The population of the United States is growing at a rate of 0.915% annually. That's almost 1% growth!
- There are 14.18 births for every 1,000 people in the American population
- 60% of the increase in American population from 1994 to 2050 will be attributed to immigration- More than 90% of the increase in the American consumption of energy from 1970 to 1990 can be blamed on population growth
What are you going to do, America?

Economic Turmoil?
Air Pollution?
Energy Shortages?
Global Warming?Urban Sprawl?
Overpopulation of our world has depleted our energy resources, placed strain on our economy, created a shortage of farmland, and placed undue burden on our natural environment.
Please write to Congress and encourage them to create a U.S. Commission on Population Growth to help slow, halt, and eventually reverse the United States’ swelling population.
By tackling the problem of overpopulation, we are enhancing the life of every person who is living on our planet today, and every person who will live on our planet in the future.

P is for population, one that consumes more and more of this world each second.O is for one acre of natural habitat or fertile land lost as space for every person born.
P is for the pain felt by the hundreds of species of animals that suffer extinction at our hands.
U is for the United States which consumes more energy than any other nation.
L is for land, which is lost to the effects of urban sprawl and development.
A is for agriculture, which is responsible for the consumption of 85% of fresh water.
T is for temperature, which will change due to global warming as our population grows.
I is for immigration, which already increases the population of the U.S. by one person every 37
seconds.
O is for overcrowded, which is the type of school that one in three Californian children attend.
N is for negative: the direction our population must grow if we are to survive.

WHY IS AMERICA'S POPULATION A PROBLEM YOU ASK?
Natural Resource Depletion…
Deforestation…
Congested Traffic and Roadways…
Water and Air Pollution…
Overcrowded cities and schools…US Population Count: 308,623,650
What the United States needs now is an active population to stand up and acknowledge that we need a change. The problem in America is that there are TOO MANY PEOPLE and we need to work together to turn this problem around.
If we do not do anything about this problem it will lead to an unlivable world. We will be out of green land and trees. We will be out of clean air to breathe, and worst of all we will be out of clean water to drink!
What we need to do is to help in the effort to slow, halt, and ultimately completely reverse population growth. By making an effort to join programs and to support the programs that help in the stop to population growth, you are helping solve all of these issues. In doing this we can save our country from a devastating future.
So what will you do to help your children, grandchildren and future generations? The future of America can only change with the support and help of people like you.
