Re: ZPG Y6B
I guess ZPG doesn't really mean ZPG. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 8 Jun 1999, Steve Kurtz wrote: Re-post from KZPG (excerpt) by Ed Glaze "We don't see Y6B as a problem, but rather a milestone," said Zero Population Growth Director of Communications Tim Cline. The mission of Y6B is to educate women, provide women with economic opportunities and provide women with more reproductive health care. Ed says: Again ZPG seems to avoid taking a stance on stopping or reducing overpopulation. A milestone is thought of by most people as an achievement and ZPG states that a population of 6 billion is not a problem. Whose side are these guys on? If one of the leading population organizations implies that continued growth is not a problem is it any wonder that our government, media, and couples everywhere are unconcerned about overpopulation? ZPG, by failing to take a stance on overpopulation, is undoing or at least limiting the impact all its population education programs may be having. Numbers are important and yet it is not hard to imagine that in about a dozen years ZPG will acknowledge yet another milestone -- Y7B.

I'm keeping it on file, thanks. There's a right nasty lot around here. Plus pro-gambling casino operators, to whom many of the same arguments apply. John [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Meadows on Smart Growth and Sprawl
Thank you, Rudy -- this supplements Steve's earlier posting very well, if it's called upon. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sat, 27 Mar 1999, Rudy Rogalsky wrote: Meadow's source for the 12 Big Myth's of Growth is Eben Fodor's 1999 big little book called Better not Bigger:How to Take Control of Urban Growth and Improve Your Community. The whole book is excellent. Other chapter titles include Meet the Urban Growth Machine The Truth About Jobs, Housing and Growth Discovering the Real Costs of Growth in Your Community Putting the Brakes on Growth--What Works Also, Fodor has appended a bibliography Urban Growth Management sources and an extensive listing of mainly U.S. organizations concerned with land use. A gold mine of examples to back up your discussions with the growth-mania types. Rudy Rogalsky

Attitides and awareness must include the responsibilities and effects of procreation if the below perceptions are to become meaningfully realized. No mention is made of this element in eco-thinking, agreed; but it's hard to avoid the conclusion that it must be entering into system-planning for this near-revolution in global thinking by various interested parties; how could it be otherwise?
