It is an excellent movie which has many facts about what we have done to our planet in just the last 100 years. The rate at which we as a species have multiplied is just mind boggling. And the rate at which we are consuming our precious resources and in turn destroying our planet must stop... |
I haven't viewed the video yet.
In my mind, population growth and stewardship of the planet are two different things and I would like to separate them to simplify the discussion. I don't think anyone argues with the need to stop the indiscriminate use of resources...
But what's wrong with population growth? It seems that should take care of itself. Does the video present a convincing argument that we must slow or even stop our rate of growth? There's something about that concept that doesn't feel right to me...
