All life consumes Earth, our host planet<\/p>\n
More life = More consumption<\/p>\n
Population of species other than human is regulated by Laws of Nature<\/p>\n
Human population has been burgeoning exponentially due to human intervention (http:\/\/www.nextindia.org\/index.php\/2009\/08\/18\/natural-laws-human-flaws\/)<\/p>\n
This intervention is essentially Pro-Life<\/p>\n
Morality & Religion want us to be \u00e2\u20ac\u02dchumane\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n
All subjects of Humanities – Civics, Politics, Economics, etc have been devised on the principle of Pro-life. Also, Medicine & Sciences.<\/p>\n
All progress has been to protect & grow life \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the human life.<\/p>\n
Despite non-stop wars, diseases, poverty, hunger \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the net outcome is that the planet is thriving with humans & growing.<\/p>\n
Human over-population of the planet earth is the primary problem that needs to be tackled.<\/p>\n
If we do not address this, Mother Gaia shall do so by making the planet un-inhabitable for us.<\/p>\n
It is not the Planet Earth that is endangered rather the species of homo sapiens.<\/p>\n
Planet shall survive, we wont.<\/p>\n

Powers that can be change agents seem paralysed. Even Gore was ignored. Because of models that have worked well so-far but are innately faulty as they assume a limitless earth. Democracy needs voters & Economy needs consumers. Both devise populist strategies that encourage growth in number of people. To them simply – voters & customers.<\/p>\n
Food Security Ordinance & earlier NREGA, are designed to win elections. That they are fundamentally faulty has to be known to at least some amongst the policymakers.<\/p>\n
Earth has reached a tipping point. The warning signals are everywhere. Writing is clear on the wall that there simply are not enough resources to support the current levels of human population. <\/p>\n
India would be the earliest to confront this bitter truth as it carries 20% of population on 2% of the planet (http:\/\/www.nextindia.org\/index.php\/2012\/12\/03\/population-control-must-be-on-top-of-our-nations-agenda-seems-to-have-died-along-with-sanjay-gandhi\/)<\/p>\n
Most of us know BPR \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Business Process Re-engineering. We need to re-engineer the way we live. That starts with the way we think. Social-re-engineering is the need of the hour (http:\/\/www.nextindia.org\/index.php\/2009\/08\/15\/provide-feedback-on-right-to-sex-legislation\/)<\/p>\n
