[GMW #3051] Increasing Earth's Resilience - Human Populations With In Nature's Limits - Reduce Excessive Consumption



[GMW #3051] Increasing Earth's Resilience -  Human Populations With In Nature's Limits - Reduce Excessive Consumption
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3445 ~
The Earth:

"Any species which proliferates in numbers and can no longer augment on my surface, given the limits of my nature, decides to stop growing and even diminishes.

It is a first good sign that the human species is beginning to do that too: the western population will for the first time decline by forty million between now and the year 2050. This is very significant since a western human being consumes thirty times more of my resources than a person in a poor country.

In my eyes the population forecasts for the year 2050 would therefore show a decline of consumption of my resources by 1.2 billion people in the rich countries. Alas this is wiped out by the increase of the population of the poor countries by 3 billion.

Your efforts must therefore continue to be directed at reducing the population explosion in the poor countries. I congratulate you dear Robert for recommending that the United Nations should convene a World Population Emergency Conference."

Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
Hidden wisdom is not good. Every wise person must proclaim his or her wisdom through speaking, writing, action, story-telling during all their life.

WORD FOR THE DAY
I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act.
The ability to be in the present moment is a
major component of mental wellness.
~ Abraham Maslow
