a) First example of family planning in the US is the Equity in Prescription Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act (EPICC). This act makes safe contraceptives available to those women who have trouble affording them. Under this act, contraceptives are covered by insurances. Doing this seems to be very affective. It allows the coverage for contraception to those who want and need it.

Second example of family planning around the world is the United Nations Population Fund. This family planning act provides family planning, education, and other economic oportunities. I think that providing women with other opportunities than just having children, they will be more likely to space their births and maybe even have less children.

b)Migration happens when people are forced to leave because of poverty, lack of freedom, or lack of resources. Only one fifth of the world's people live in industrialized countries, yet they consume more than two thirds of the planet's resources. With less than 5 percent of global population, the United States accounts for about one fourth of global consumption. Water is a resource that we can no longer afford to overconsume. More than 508 million people in 31 countries face water scarcity in the world today. By 2025, this number will increase to 3 billion. We lose one or more entire species of animal or plant life every twenty minutes - some 27,000 species a year. Habitat loss remains the biggest threat to most species, as humans transform natural areas through agriculture, logging, road construction, and housing structures. The loss of plant and animal species due to habitat loss alters the environment in unpredictable and potentially devastating ways. The spread of hazardous chemicals and pollutants globally is directly related to the increased amount of technological activity and the irresponsible handling of the waste created.
