If we solve overpopulation, environmental conflicts will lessen. The first time you ever heard of people starving somewhere, you were hearing of overpopulation. Because about four billion of these people would like to join the mere quarter of a billion of us here in the United States, we have increasing environmental problems. Overpopulation always solves itself in the animal world. Disease and starvation eventually increase when a species becomes too abundant.
Humans are animals subject to the same natural laws as other animals.
All of us should think about this, for we can actually avoid the consequences of overpopulation by controlling our birth rate. Support of a global plan of voluntary birth control and family planning is a simple solution to world overpopulation and virtually all the world's environmental problems. Birth control or starvation and disease are our only choices.
