Two types of conditions of population and consumerism exist:
People over-population:Excessive population pressure causes degradation of the limited resources, and there is absolute poverty, undernourishment and premature deaths. This occurs in less developed countries (LDCs)
Consumption over-population:
This occurs in the more developed countries (MDCs). More the consumption of resources more is the waste generation and greater is the degradation of the environment.

Today’s many products produced are luxurious and are non-degradable which takes years to be decomposed.
A high rate of consumption leads to pollution and waste product.

How to calculate the impact..??
Using IPAT equation …I=P*A*T
P=PopulationA=AffluenceT=Technology

Population: we need to control population growth.
Consumption: once we control population growth, the consumption rate would fall down itself.
Technology: we should stop at this stage some of the irrelevant and unimportant products, in order to stabilize the environment.
