There are too many people living on this planet sucking the life out
of it. Unfortunately our economic system depends on growth and
expansion. We bank on that premise.

Nah, there aren't too many people.

If all the folks on earth were stacked up like cordwood, they would
fit in a cubic mile.

If everybody on the planet migrated to the state of West Virginia,
they would not exceed the population density of Hong Kong.

And who wants to "live in harmony" with nature?

In nature there are ants and other creepy things.
I appreciate the humo(u)r.

But, in a way, we are in harmony with nature. I can't name a single
organism that voluntarily limits its growth by not reproducing.

There lies our problem!
