      <image:title>About - “Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases (which) we do not yet understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess. What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution, but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and the education of the billions who are its victims.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Chapter Five - "The climate crisis that now threatens life on Earth as we know it results from a combination of different human activities, including the pollution of land, air and water, our reckless burning of fossil fuels, the destruction of forests, extreme poverty, and the unsustainable life styles of so many of us. And all of this is impacted by the relentless growth of human populations and their livestock.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Chapter Ten - “In the same way democracy cannot survive overpopulation; human dignity cannot survive overpopulation; convenience and decency cannot survive overpopulation.

      <image:title>Chapter Twelve - "We keep being fed the idea that somehow population and consumption can keep expanding without any consequences. They can’t. As population grows, the pressure on our planet is heightened. One of the many changes needed to give my generation a chance of a healthy future is for people to recognize that choosing to have fewer children helps relieve that pressure. We should and must be talking about population and family size."</image:title>
