As a '80s kid I've heard "overpopulation" everywhere, it was one of the biggest threats. So naturally I decided not to populate. It was conscious decision. If you want to reverse the trend stop using that term (in school, in media) and in 20~50 years people will start having 2 babies again.
- autoexec 2y agoOverpopulation is still a problem today. People look around and see that there is still plenty of place to cram bodies into and assume that it's fine, but any given environment can only sustainably support so many people and most of the places we like to live in are way over biocapacity. Earth Overshoot Day is just weeks away this year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Overshoot_Day) Population decline is bad for our unsustainable economy, but it's a good thing for the environment and our increasingly diminishing resources.
