This 'sharing' is important, and I'll try to pull it together frequently. I use some discretion as to what gets passed along, as any editor would, but unless you send things 'eyes only' I'll assume they can be shared.
Population growth is a real problem.
Somewhere along the line there must be a leveling as to how we treat our world's population. It will come with time, I'm sure, and it'll be real painful for people. As far as population is concerned, I strongly agree with those people who feel it is the number one problem in many developing countries. Anyone who has visited India, Bangladesh or Java will recognize that there is almost no hope of protecting forests or reforesting the areas that have already been deforested, unless population growth can be reversed. However, it should be recognized that the situation is different in different places.
