Most politicians, big business and its supporting economists call for growth as a solution to all our problems. Apparently, they believe in perpetual growth, which is a mathematical absurdity on a finite planet. There must be limits. Science is demonstrating that human population and consumption in the United States and the world are already too large and are destroying the natural systems that support us. We must not simply stop population growth; we must turn it around.

Since 1972, NPG has been making that case. We publish scholarly studies, call attention to valuable papers, support the distribution of books that make the case, support population student education, issue periodic newsletters and the monthlyNPG Journal. We do not simply identify the problems, we propose solutions. NPG’s Solution
