The last thing anyone wants to do is intentionally hurt their children or grandchildren.
Yet, that is precisely what the vast majority of Americans are doing every day by choosing to ignore our nation’s growing population numbers.
As the nation’s headlines warn against overburdening future generations with huge fiscal debt, our elected leaders are also destroying the opportunities of tomorrow by vigorously pursuing a “growth at any cost” agenda. They give no thought to putting the brakes on population growth in order to avoid the disastrous consequences such growth is creating for our future.
The signs are all around us that we are already on a fast train to forthcoming crises in the areas of job shortages, limited access to clean water, poor air quality, threatened food supplies, and a fast-deteriorating national infrastructure. It is crucial that Americans speak up and demand that our leaders take steps now to slow, halt and eventually reverse our ever-growing population numbers.
If we can’t effectively deal with these burgeoning problems today, how will our heirs resolve them in 2050 – less than 40 years from now – when our nation’s population is projected to reach 438 million? With a major portion of children born today expected to live into the next century – in an America which could have a population of one billion by 2100 – this is definitely an issue that must be addressed now, before it is too late.
As NPG celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year, we continue in our quest to leave our children and grandchildren a livable and sustainable nation. We invite you to join us. Please go online to register as NPG’s newest member.
