OVERPOPULATION

Why do people get so emotional about this word? I'm sure someone will tell me I should be the first to volunteer.

In fact, I've already done my part, I have only sired one child. In order to stop population growth, there needs to be an average of 2.1 children per woman. It's that easy! Some women won't have any children, some will have just one, so there's still plenty of room for some women to have 3 or 4 if they want.

This holds true even if you get the birth rate below 2.1, get it down to 1.8 or so, and the population will decline gradually to a more sustainable level.

Of course, the most reliable way to accomplish this is not through any means of control, but through the education of women. That's all, just make sure all the girls in the world get a good education, and the population of humans on the Earth will begin to decrease.
