... Best-case scenario for population reduction is education and economic empowerment for women
... denied knowledge and access to birth control, they won't be able to choose when (or if) to have children ... eliminate the problem of birth-related fistulas that devastate thousands of child brides ... that's *not* just a developing world problem Debbi assuming women no longer are treated as chattel and population growth slows down with empowerment, we can expect more pollution from the growth in consumerism,increased waste and excessive energy use. jon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
