Hawaii Overpopulation Research Paper

The human population is on the rise around the world, Hawaii being no exception. Even though Hawaii is a small island, overpopulation was caused by many people who are militaries, tourists, and immigrants. Actually, in 2011 Hawaii’s population density was 214 people per square mile. Also, on Oahu, where the majority of Hawaii residents live, the population density was 1,468 people per square mile. Therefore, Hawaii ranked 13th population density in the U.S. Hawaii’s overpopulation problem leads to the cost of living is high, increasing homelessness and the traffic congestion. Obviously, these overpopulation problems should be alleviate for Hawaii’s residents.

Hawaii population can be said to have gone beyond environmental sustainable levels.

One of the first solutions is the governments should create measures, such as make streetcar that is an energy saving and promote other transit systems, like bicycles or eco-friendly electric cars. In fact, the train and the streetcar are the most eco-friendly vehicles, because these produced lower CO2 emissions than cars and air plane. In Europe, twenty cities in 11countries are using these eco-friendly vehicles. Therefore, European people are actively working on decrease the environmental problems. If Hawaiian people use these eco-friendly vehicles, people will be stress reliever of the traffic congestion as well.

An overpopulation undoubtedly effect negative environmental problems, but the government can promote other better ways for protect environment. There is an overpopulation problems. The second problem is the traffic congestion that is caused by few roadway lane and rising cars. The government should create better eco-friendly vehicles, such as streetcars, and promote use bicycles and eco-friendly cars to Hawaii’s residents. If the government follow these solution, the state of Hawaii would be comfortable and eco-friendly state as population
