What will happen if countries that overconsume continue to grow in population?  Scarcity of resources + inequitable distribution = large numbers of people in small areas.  Get a taste of a possible future, and camp out outside of Olin. Bring your tent, your sleeping bag, and your drums.   Overpopulation has never been so much fun.
