If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.
