The destruction of our environment and resources cannot be stemmed unless the growth of the world's population is stemmed and ultimately reduced.

If we do not voluntarily bring population growth under control in the next one or two decades, the nature will do it for us in the most brutal way, whether we like it or not.

We must act swiftly in order to halt the rate of decay our planet faces.

Soil erosion is second only to population growth as the biggest environmental problem the world faces. Yet, the problem, which is growing ever more critical, is being ignored because who gets excited about dirt?

Unless we bring balance to the world, we are destined to live a finite existance

Many people and governments share the mistaken belief that science, with new, ingenious devices and techniques, can rescue us from the troubles we face without our having to mend our ways and change our patterns of activity. This is not so.
