Here's the thing we have to face.

The root of all our problems is our drive to populate...to keep growing....to look at growth as good.

We invented "death control" hundreds of years ago....but "Birth control" is still a debatable issue. So we are growing; but the earth's resources are shrinking and reducing.

We're growing at 150 more births than deaths, per minute.
220,000 per day.
1,500,000 more per week
80 million per year.

But wildlife is going extinct at the rate unheard of ever since we started noticing.

Forests are disappearing at the rate of acres per minute.

Blacktop/concrete/irreversible land covering for human occupation is happening at acres per minute.

The earth isn't growing. We're getting better and more efficient at food sharing....so there is a slow reduction of starvation deaths - for now.

But diseases and their vectors are getting stronger and tougher ever minute.

And pollution is growing at a faster, and faster rate.

And we have the technology - the knowhow - the wisdom to control this growth.

We just need to connect the dots...and slow down our growth - faster, sooner....or it might be too late for us. Many are saying it is....in fact...too late to reverse global warming/climate change.

But resetting the evolutionary clock might be good for our planet.

Not good for us...but good for the planet.
