The goal of this website is to preserve the environment and its natural resources for the benefit of people, families, and future generations. Unfortunately, with exploding population growth, excessive consumption on the part of the more well-off people in the world, errant technology, and corrupt governments, the environment is in trouble and the sustainability of the people of our planet is threatened. The solutions seem simple: empower and enable women to have fewer children, develop simpler lifestyles, tax pollution of any kind, and set up government programs to enable the other three solutions.
Overpopulation is a serious problem getting worse every year: if we continue at the current rate, population will double to over 11 billion by 2035. Overpopulation is the root of most, if not all, environmental and many economic issues, timber overharvesting, loss of arable land, ocean depletion, food shortages, water shortages, air pollution, water pollution, flooding, plant and animal habitat loss, global warming and immigration.
Let us find ways to make everyone aware of the seriousness of this problem (see "Why Population Matters") and what are the choices. The people of the world are the ones that have to do something about it.
There are many international groups and national groups, some perhaps with local chapters. Starting with a solidly built grassroots foundation is the best way. People should be talking face to face about overpopulation.
Abortion has made overpopulation awareness a dirty word. Abortion is not necessary for controlling world population.. There are plenty of other choices. If people become aware of how bad things are going to be by having too many children, they will find a way to do something about it. Even abstinence and the rhythm method, and delayed marriage will result in fewer children.
Let us examine all the statistics and demographics and philosophies on this issue.
With enough interested people involved, we can make a difference!
Become Aware .... Get Concerned ... Take Action!
