What NPG Stands For
NPG is a national non-profit membership organization founded in 1972. Our primary purpose is to educate the American public and elected officials regarding the damaging effects of overpopulation on our nation’s environment, resources, and quality of life. NPG advocates a smaller, truly sustainable United States population accomplished through education, access to healthcare, two child families, and legislative action to end illegal immigration and to reduce the number of legal immigrants to no more than 200,000 annually.
Our goal is to slow, halt, and eventually reverse population growth, eventually reaching a sustainable size for the long haul. The optimal population of around 150-200 million people (our nation’s size in 1970, a golden era of sustainability) will safeguard our fragile ecosystems, preserve our precious resources, and secure a thriving America for future generations. To read a detailed explanation of NPG’s solutions, read our Proposed National Population Policy and Our Vision.
NPG promotes our mission through a wide variety of educational and outreach programs.
