Re: END POPULATION EXPLOSION (petition)
Hello again, Traverser,
I believe, i answered your question by tackling it from 'its roots': abundance being the key'.
The point is, abundance demands sustainability and sustainablity passes through a responsible attitude towards ourselves, our number and legitimate needs and the rest of Nature, Mother Earth.
How would you otherwise achieve that abundance?
Our houses, recreation and sport spaces, factories... are taking much of the room.
The air and water are being heavily polluted.
Species of both the fauna and flora are being extincted, because their natural habitats are being invaded - think of honey bees, for instance.
How much cultivable land is still left?
Our food comes from the countryside - while most of us are packed in cities.
How would you increase the production, to reach that abundance? - by increasing the use of chemicals, which would poison the soil and water still more?
Or are you thinking of the legendary and mysterious free energy, the panacea? - where is it? Who has it? Will those having it, share its benefits with all Mankind?
And actually, even with a free energy device, we would need to follow natural laws, that is that the land needs time to naturally recover, after a certain nombre of years of exploitation.
Abundance is also not only limited to having enough food, clean water and other commodities; it is about creating a living situation, whereby we, Humans, could also spiritually grow - and Spirituality supposes, as a necessary condition, due care for other life forms.
So, i say, let's work with what we REALLY have and be self responsible.
Namaste, indeed.
