Hello,
I have a suggestion…
Maybe you could add “The Voluntary Human Extinction” (VHEMT) on your “Organizations and Websites to Explore the Population Issue”
http://www.vhemt.org.
Thank you!

This is a clash of world views. If reproducing is less imtnaprot than saving the planet, we have to re-evaluate our core beliefs.Are you aware of the fact that Europe’s Reproduction rate is 1.3 per family? When a society produces only 1.3 kids per mom and dad, that means that the population is decreasing! If only 1.3 kids per 2 people are born, that society will be extinct within a couple of generations! Research shows that a reproduction rate of below 1.6 has never been recovered from! It forms so much part of that culture to have only 1 kid, that they never recover. Europe will be totally Arabic/Muslim in a century or two, because the Arabs are reproducing and taking up the place that the Europeans are leaving open! Is this where this mindset will lead us, extinction?If I put nature first, and human life second, we will soon no longer exist. This is the world view clash, what is most imtnaprot? Has man evolved from nature to protect nature, or was nature created for man?Why don’t the Africans care about nature? Because nature is not their responsibility, human life is! Although there should be a balance, this is closer to what life is about than where you are headed! Nature is God’s problem, if He created earth in 6 days, He can restore it again in 6 days. Imagine a life where human beings do not care about each other anymore, where husbands and wives fight and hurt each other all the time. Where kids are neglected and rejected. Where our quest for survival was the thing that killed us in the end.Maybe these young students do not value life because of how they have experienced life up to now. I’m not blaming or pointing fingers, but that’s where a loveless society will lead our children! That’s the life we have chosen when we chose to reject God’s way of living. This is a very serious thing that we have to discuss and think through.[]

Ayhan, yes this is a clash of world views. No doubt about that. That is where our agreement ends. Europe is wisely contributing fewer new human beings to the planet. This is the responsible thing to do. And we are in no danger of running out of Italians, French, Germans, etc. There is plenty of time to stabilize population once a sustainable balance is achieved.
