Before the decade of the 90’s and the beginning of the XXI century, there were not so many environmental problems as they are nowadays. The only problem that they could ever have was that the natural resources that were used for human consumption were not enough. The difference between that time, and this time is that before the human population was not that big as it is now, and the big number of humans populating the earth is the cause of the destruction of it.
Before, people did not worry about some natural issue that some people are worried about in the modern world. The only problem that they could ever have was that the natural resources that were used for human consumption were not enough. This can be seen with the theory that Maltius, an important person from the English Classic Economy; he said that natural resources that people used and consume grew arithmetically, while the human population grew geometrically. In other words, he said that human population had a bigger proportion of growing than the proportion that the resources had.
