Re: POLICY: SAF position on Human Population Growth



While I quite agree on the causality, I would suspect that
foresters would be most effective addressing the issue at
the first link: pollution is killing their trees. Bringing
that again and again to the fore is crucial. To trace it
to national policies, religions and cultural traits both
takes them out of their domain ok knowledge and creates
internal divisions as well. While those links may be
there who, for instance, argues that all those sewage
treatment plants, water filtering and vaccinations are
the real cause of overpopulation? No one of course;
we have rules that say that is good. I know good hearted
people--who may be quite mad in some ways--that believe
large families are, a priori, good, even a duty. Many
of these people are foresters.
