“Whatever your cause, it’s a lost cause without population control.”

Paul R. Ehrlich (1932) American scientist and environmentalist

Paul Ehrlich and the population bomb
Context: Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism… of sexism… of religious intolerance… of war… of gross economic inequality—But if you don’t solve the population problem, you’re not going to solve any of those problems.
