Okay, here's what I think:
1) Overpopulation: it is the cause of many problems in the world, like hunger, war and disease. if everyone lived like they do in Europe, we need 2.5 more planet Earths. And if we live like they do in the States, we'll need about six more blue globes. We can only continue to live the way we do now, by parasiting on the poor saps in third world countries. Either we change our lifestyle, or we change the ammount of children we plan to have. And the latter is a lot easier for most people.
2) education: children belong in school, not in the mines or a sweatshop. Ignorance causes a myrad of problems. War, disease (especially STD-s), violence against women and so on.
3) energy: first we use up nearly all our oil and poison the planet with deadly gasses, and now we 'solve' that problem.... by burning our food. I swear humanity is getting dumber by the second. |
