It lubricates the planet core.

The more we suck out the more friction occurs and the earth slows its rotation.

You have a point but the whole we improve our techniques only apply to some 
countries only. Some countries aren't improving and not sure if they ever 
will...

 


How does "The idea of ‘less is better’ for the environment is one of those 
great ideas that sounds right and feels right and has zero basis in logic"???


 


Using less resources would be better for the environment logically...it 
encourage us to find different ways to replace natural resources. Recently they 
found
 a way to make diamond out of tequilla and glass (something like that) this 
would replace mining for diamonds. Which means we won't need to dig up whole 
areas for diamonds anymore. Which could be put to better use. Since mining 
destroys ecosystems.


 


The issue i have is that some resources are not as vast and infinite as we 
think. Some resources are irreplaceable and we're still abusing it. Oil for 
example.

The big thing is that if there are food shortages in the world (which there 
still are), it’s not
 due to a lack of resources. The idea of ‘less is better’ for the environment 
is one of those great ideas that sounds right and feels right and has zero

usual categories for nature.
 We adapt. We improve our use of resources.
 
If there were issues with natural resources, then the price of commodities 
would rise over time.
 They don’t. We improve our techniques and the use of resources. Demand 
decreases, despite population growth. That’s the kinds of creature we are.

Not every country improved their farming techniques though.

 


Overpopulation isn't the only issue that cause starvation or scarce in food 
supplies. Better medical also contributes A LOT. People are living longer than 
they did years ago. So
 there's new mouths to feed and old mouth to feed where in the past it was just 
the new mouth we need to feed.

You’re talking about sustainability there. Sure we need more farmlands, fish, 
general natural resources.
 We also improve our farming techniques, genetically modify wheat crops, start 
fish farms, etc.
There are more trees on the planet today than there were 30 years ago.
 
China can stop farming as long as it can afford to import food. Japan hasn’t 
produced enough food
 for its population for years. The US produces a massive excess. When you hit 
the point where you have people with cash, but not food, people will go back to 
farming.

In a government and population dynamics, it varies.

 


But as for the world, nature and ecosystem...less is better. Since we need more 
farmlands, fish more, cut down more trees, etc. To supply our needs.


 


Another issue for more people is that doesn't mean more things is being 
produced either. A lot of chinese farmers have stop farming because they want 
to move into the cities and
 become happy and rich like how the media promote it. That's one reason why 
rice supply in China is plummeting. Not everyone wants to become a farmer when 
you can sit in air conditioned rooms and work 9-5.


 


Food is only an issue in some countries. I know china needs to switch to 
insects soon since rice isn't supplying enough.

If people simply consumed less one wouldn't need to cut down the population. 
It's easier to adjust your lifestyle than it is to play with population sizes 
I'd think. Also, even
 if you cut down the population in terms of size, what's to stop the remaining 
population from simply wanting even more?


 


My wife and I share a meal at Burger King. We literally cut the thing in half. 
I'm not saying everyone needs to share their burgers but my point is that one 
meal fills both of us
 sufficiently. People tend to base how much they eat on what size their meal 
comes in and tend to overestimate how much the really need :P

Less people ~ less things needed.

People just need to realize that they should replace themselves, not multiply 
like crazy.


But then you get into the whole "don't tell me how many kids I can have" thing.


 


Conclusion I've come to when talking about this issue is that most people would 
rather have a big family over a sustainable environment.


And when you try to talk the about conservation for the future they completely 
disregard it as someone else's problem.
