People get upset when you talk about population. But we don’t need to be upset. There are really only two reasons that we have overpopulation. One is global capitalism and the other is patriarchy. What we know about people’s reproductive lives is that, when they are poor, they have more children. And when women cannot control their own fertility, they have more children than they want to. The number one thing you can do to reduce the birth rate is to teach a girl to read. When you give women just a little bit of empowerment, then they can control their reproductive lives. So we are all going to have to be feminists to save the planet. Oh gosh, what a shame. And we’ve got to stop the rich from stealing from the poor. So we’re going to have to be against global capitalism. A lot of these are things we should be doing anyway. -Lierre Keith resilience.org/stories/2011-03-17/peak-moment-191-vegetarian-myth
