I would agree with the idea of over population being at the base of
environmental degradation. The problem is compounded by the concept of non
interference that we (U.S. citizens) have. We don't want to impose our
beliefs about birth control (which we don't have a consensus on anyway) on
other countries. Third world countries resent our interference, they say they
need the people to develop their country and then there is the still intact
idea that the number of children speaks to a man's worth. Also, there is the
feeling that we are maintaining our dominance by limiting their numbers. So,
what to do? Suzanne
