Interesting article from IEEE - although we are not seeing the major fallout from this overpopulation yet, the effects will rise as time goes on.  Perhaps some of our (SpaceGAMBIT) relatively near term effort could be on addressing this problem.  We need to clean up our local area before we go off trashing the rest of the solar system, and galaxy!
