(NaturalNews) Protecting the environment isn't a "liberal" idea; it's everybody's business. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, the environment provides life support for us all, and if we fail to recognize that, we are truly doomed as a civilization.
To help explain this, I've put together a simple thought experiment. It begins with three undeniable truths about humans and the environment:
Truth #1 - The Earth's resources are limited.
Truth #2 - Each person living in modern civilization consumes some amount of the Earth's limited resources.
Truth #3 - Humans are altering the environment
Truth #4 - Humans really like to have babies
Human beings do not consider their impact on the global population when they procreate. The decision to have children is made privately, selfishly, without regard to the impact on the planet. One more child seems like no big deal from the point of view of a couple that wishes for another son or daughter, but multiplied by billions, these decisions to procreate en masse lead to overpopulation, which leads to over-consumption of the planet's limited resources.
