What does it mean to overpopulate planet Earth. We're eating up the planet and coverting what goes in to pollution of air, water and commons. It's not just too many people in one place but too many people living in where there are dwindling resources - not sustainable. It's occuring now - more and more populations are without basic resources (food and water). And this is futher problematic due to a few rich nations continuing to take these critical resources (water, wood, food) from the highly populated and poorer nations. We each not only need to reduce our carbon foot print we all need to rethink completely how we live. If we want there to be any viable life for those who inherit life on this planet from us, we are required to make dramatic changes in our way of living. Vying this, we must admit we care not if humanity and other life continue. That's it. What can you do?
STOP drinking bottled water - use the tap.
DRIVE as little as is possible.
Recycle.
Convert your lawn/garden to indeginous plants.
If you must mow - use a hand mower.
Don't use a dryer in the summer - hang your clothes out to dry.
Plant trees wherever you are able.
Turnoff the TV - and read a non-fiction book that gives you ever more better ways of living sustainably on our little green globe.

  • What about going vegan? Meat consumption uses much more natural resources than everything besides car use.

    And remember that the solution to population control is BETTER EDUCATION and urbanizing the population, not some crackpot eugenics scheme that will make the population worse off. And for the record, AIDS makes people have more children, not less, and therefore it actually increases the population. Don't think that AIDS making less humans, it's making more, so that should also be a priority when dealing with population growth.
