Phil Harding Population Quotations

Everybody talks about population growth and its disastrous effect on climate change, food security and resource depletion, but nobody does anything about it

Living in an orgy of unrestrained consumption and economic growth accompanied by population expansion that ignores the carrying capacity of local environments will lead to disaster

Large carbon and resource savings arising from efficiency and renewable energy programmes will be completely cancelled out by the added resource needs of even small population increases. Action is urgently required on both fronts to protect our life on earth

Economic growth won't feed a growing population living on this finite planet
