"The only real form of pollution is people. Any ecological system which does not include the reduction or stopping of growth of the population is eyewash"

Previous Quote

The people who see the population explosion in the Malthusian way - as a geometric progression - forget that population growth is not a biological issue. People are not increasing in numbers out of stupidity and ignorance. Population growth is an ecological phenomenon linked very intimately to other issues, such as the usurpation of the resources which allow people to live.
