Sustainable population size

#MoveTheDate Solutions

Personal / Community: Community project

Population sub-categories: Family planning

Description: Our goals are: Create awareness about the importance of the factor population in the equation of overshoot/sustainability Promote small family sizes Break the taboo of overpopulation Challenge the anthropocentric world view

Website about this solution: https://ptsp.jimdofree.com/

Why I love this solution: Gains through increased efficiency due to technological advancements or reduction in consumption are being overcompensated by a continuously growing world population. As a consequence, we keep moving in opposite direction to sustainability. It is time to address population matters in order to move the date!

  • Any more children anywhere on the planet assures greater suffering somewhere on the planet. The rich can avoid harm for a while, but they have to eat and breathe too. Note that "sustainable" human population = one at or below carrying capacity, which is probably only 2-4 billion. We are close to 8 billion.

  • I think that family planning is a more appropriate solution for Africa and Asia, as far as Europe is concerned, in my opinion it is necessary to consume with moderation and smartly by favoring environmental friendly and organic products 😄

  • i am pushing for a top biological infringement on down progressive legislated off spring limit in the states... the population pressure here kills....it's not enough to promote smaller families because there are people with a biological impact that would require 96 individuals, who might have had one, to die childless just trying to offset their impact.... it has to be legislated, there is no other way to protect human rights from excessive exploitation of human rights in the creation of humans with rights..
