Let's get to the
root of
resource scarcity:
population.
Less people = less resources required to
sustain them while they grow from wee little babes in arms to
self-actualized adults pursuing life's glories.
Alternative energy sources? YES! We still need them.
Healthy and sustainable food supply? Of course! We need that too.
But - imagine if,
as a species, we were more mindful of our procreation, there would be less people to have needs, therefore making less of a strain on our resources (the ones we have and the ones we have yet to
develop).
This is not an
advocation of
population control mandates. It is a
suggestion of nurturing the
social systems we live in in a way that encourages (and provides the
educational tools and
medical support) thought out-procreation.
