Sustainable Population Levels -- part contents for background part 6 ----- text ----- How many people can Earth support? No one knows the answer to this question. There are many factors that must be considered: 1. How much habitat do we want to set aside on the planet for other life forms? For example, if man destroys all the rainforests, he will cause the extinction of nearly half the species of life on Earth - a great loss of biodiversity. 2. What standard of living does man want for himself? How equally will wealth be distributed world-wide to meet these living standards? 3. To what extent does mankind want to depend on natural biological life-support systems versus artificial, technological ones? 4. How many other social problems - crime, drug use, health care, traffic congestion, lack of housing, etc. - would be eased if the human race finally got serious about controlling its numbers? 5. Does modern man really understand what the word 'sustainable' means? American Indians used to 'look ahead seven generations' when they made decisions affecting the future. ***
