If your favorite organization that has some connection to our earth, be it environmental, spiritual or otherwise, does not make the connection between the health of the earth ecosystems and human population size and growth on its web site you might want to ask the executive director or a board member why not.

Many polls also show that the U.S. public in general is also concerned about population size.

Here is just one example:
Informed that U.S. population is projected to grow to 420 million by 2050, fifty-seven percent of respondents believed that the present U.S. population of 300 million or less would be best for the country in the long run.

Roper ASW Poll conducted for Negative Population Growth (NPG), April 14-16, 2006
