I’ve never seen a problem that wouldn’t be easier to solve with fewer people, or harder, and ultimately impossible, with more.
David Attenborough (1926-, British Naturalist, Patron of Optimum Population Trust)
Extract:
In the Arctic spring is arriving earlier, contrary to their normal habit the birds are no longer migrating south, and the weather is becoming more extreme in many places around the world.
All over the world people have contaminated the air, water and soil with waste, toxic chemicals, emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases damaging to the ecological system, the environment and the climate. We should be protecting our natural environment instead of ruining it.
It is a sensation when new species of animal or plant appear. It engenders a sense of loss, when a species of animal or plant disappears, because their habitats have been taken over by humans.
Why not make the world sustainable instead of destroying it. Why wait and see whether the futurologists are right or wrong? We are all responsible for the world we live in.
