[quote=patientrenter]I think our planet would be much better of with a stable population of about 500 million. Finally, open spaces, room for genuinely wild species to thrive, less trash everywhere….[/quote]
When you say, “our planet would be better off,” you mean, “the people on our planet would be better off,” right? I mean, eventually, humans will probably cease to exist, and “our” planet will, over a million or a billion years, repair itself and eliminate virtually all traces that we ever existed. So, what we’re really talking about here isn’t the Earth, but the Earth’s ability to provide people with open spaces to enjoy and trash to not see.
