    Killing Our Land with Kindness: Why We Must Consider the Next Seven Generations By Making Better Decisions About Our Population Size

    Most of the religions practiced in the US have a golden rule towards the duty to welcome the stranger, especially the downtrodden stranger. We are going to have to alter those narratives a bit so that we don’t become even more overpopulated and put additional pressure on our remaining wild spaces, national parks, and lands sacred within Indian country. We must look to other ways that we can help the stranger than admitting them entry to our already overpopulated country or assume the responsibility that we are killing our landscapes, and each other with kindness.

    Building in Harm’s Way: America’s Population Growth Pattern is Making It More Vulnerable to Global Warming

    The United States has been experiencing one of the fastest population growth rates in the developed world for decades.

    Too Many People Chasing Too Few Healthcare Providers: How Population Growth Can Make You Sick

    A few years back, my wife had something of a minor yet potentially serious health scare. We knew her issue didn’t constitute an emergency requiring an ambulance, but we needed a doctor to look at her sooner rather than later because it was the kind of health concern that could quickly worsen and lead to lifelong complications. So, I called a doctor to see if we could make an appointment to get her checked out. Yes, the doctor would be pleased to check her out, we were told – in three months.
