1/9 🌍 A critical factor in resource depletion and environmental breakdown is #population growth coupled with overconsumption. As our global numbers swell, our demand for resources—food, water, energy, and land—escalates, exerting crushing pressure on Earth. 
2/9 🌊 The strain of overconsumption can trigger extreme exploitation of resources. Overfishing, for instance, can decimate marine life, while deforestation can disrupt biodiversity. Overuse of water resources can lead to dire water scarcity
3/9 🌳 Deforestation, largely triggered by population growth and consumption patterns, contributes to soil erosion, flooding, and species loss. It also intensifies climate change as trees, our natural carbon sinks, are removed, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
1/ 🚩Signs of impending collapse: Three key indicators we should watch out for are resource depletion, economic instability, and environmental degradation. These interconnected issues can signal a society on the brink of collapse. #CollapseSigns
2/ 💧Resource depletion: As we consume resources like water, fossil fuels, and minerals at unsustainable rates, we risk reaching a point where they become scarce or inaccessible. Look for signs of dwindling resources and increasing competition for them. #ResourceDepletion
3/ 💰Economic instability: A fragile economy, marked by high inequality, debt, and unemployment, can be a precursor to collapse. Pay attention to rising poverty rates, social unrest, and the erosion of the middle class. #EconomicInstability
