The Limits to Growth

The limits to growth means that there is only so much that our planet can handle. Our planet is like a big house that we all live in, and the more people, animals, and things that come into the house, the more crowded it gets! Soon, there won't be enough space and resources to go around. That means there are only so many people, animals, and things that can stay in the house at one time. Those are the limits to growth.
