You're probably doing it wrong

Leading by example? Tried that?

No, I don't really think population control is effective - all your high level/educated/wealthy people do it (or don't do it, depending what you mean), and everyone else keeps on breeding, then you end up with a concentration of wealth at the top. I reckon education is a natural form of population control, so that's where we need to focus.

Too much information. I'm going to go take a shower now.

Involuntary neutering with a butter knife might stop people from mating. But those human right law thingies might get in the way. Pity that. Anyway, I donâ€™t agree that fewer humans will make the world a better place. No I think we must look at technology to give us the ability to construct homes and cities smarter so that more people can take up less space. Also use our technology to generate electricity better and to take care of this big ball of land and water.

Like it or not if the earth dies... we die with it...

Of that, no doubt! I cant imagine myself living "smaller" . The confined space of living in Midrand already is a bit much for me and we live in a free standing house. Think i would go potty!

Just remember if we live in small places there are bigger places that will be beautiful and full of life and nature so yes your home might be smaller but you will enjoy a bigger natural beauty thus you will not go mad you will go outside and drive a bit and you will find open space beauty and clean nature now it is a sacrifice but if the outcome is something like this it will be worth it just think you just enjoy small things again like bird watching or fishing.

cool stuff

I also love the outdoors and think that if more people experience nature and the tranquillity it gives. Stress will be a thing of the past... I really belief that.
