Hello Facebook friends, Id like to recommend this very good film about over-population. Its an educational, humane and effective documentary (70 minutes.) Kind wishes Vajracaksu In the 1960s, population was growing at an unprecedented rate, the highest in human history; as famine developed in South Asia spreading fear to the rest of the planet. The world started grasping the urgency of the situation. Advocacy groups, such as Zero Population Growth (ZPG), emerged in the US in the 1960s. For the first time, population growth was linked as a major factor responsible for the global environmental crisis, at the first Earth Day in 1970. 40 years later, the environmental message has not changed. Apart from a few persistent groups, population growth is barely being mentioned. Its as if the issue has been diluted among all the others. Even though population growth and human consumption are the major factors in our on-going environmental crisis. We are adding about 50 million new middle class each year; modeling their consumption habits from the unsustainable lifestyle of the developed world. A triumph for progress and poverty, but a ticking bomb for our civilization. topdocumentaryfilms/mother-caring-for-7-billion/
