Re: Crash Course: 5 Human Impacts On The Environment
Hey Hank aren't all the problems humans cause just a symptom of the one big problem which is an endlessly growing population? Limiting a human's right to reproduce is a terribly touchy subject that seems to always be ignored but ultimately isn't that going to? be the only solution? The planet simply can't support more than a certain number of humans.
