Population growth is a major problem in the world. What are you doing [View All]

to help solve that problem? What proposals do you have to ameliorate the problem? I'll tell you what I'm doing. In 1965, I made a decision not to have any children. That decision was made based on the knowledge of an ever-increasing world population. I've been married twice, both times to women who agreed with my position. I've utilized contraceptive technology, along with the women in my life, to assure that I would not add to the population. I'm now 65 years old, and my wife is past the age of menopause.

So, what do others do to help solve this problem? Every human being, like all other animals, consumes oxygen and contributes carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Every human being consumes some share of the resources available on this planet, and some consume much more than others. What is the solution to a problem that shows a huge growth in population since the year I decided not to add to the world's population?

What are your solutions? How have you contributed to solving this explosion of population?

Let's hear some stories from DUers. It's clearly an issue that needs a resolution. How much longer can we continue to increase our population in an exponential growth curve? How do we solve this? We're all progressives here, so we must have some thoughts about it. I've done my part. Let's hear what others have done.
