Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting. The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

Humans are experts in not giving a sh!t about the planet in lieu of greed....

Kidding. Most of mine comes from a dead guy, Sam Walton. -
Is it just greed or is it a large populous nation with limited economic options available to much of their citizenry to earn a living?I'm sure most of us will willingly/gladly switch to electric smokers/grills right?Perhaps the answer is to switch to extruded coconut charcoal as it is made from a byproduct of coconut products made for a variety of food supply and industrial uses.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K.

Really boils down to world birth control, right?

Great illustration of the word asymptotic.
Modern (since the Middle Ages) healthcare is a huge part of the reason for this IMHO, but no matter how you look at it, it's staggering.Cincinnati, Ohio. Large BGE since 2011. Still learning. -
Wars, famine and pandemics have historically played large parts in limiting population growth. I would not discount any of them from continuing to do so.

I hope I'm wrong, but I won't be here to see the answer (somebody send me a text then, mmkay?)___________"They're eating the checks! They're eating the balances!"

I heard India isn't doing so well with C19. They were saying on the radio they are running out of wood to cremate the bodies. Could be fake news.

I heard folks in Texas were burning baseboards to keep warm during the big power outage.canuckland

dbCooper said:Wars, famine and pandemics have historically played large parts in limiting population growth. I would not discount any of them from continuing to do so.I will bet that if each of us considers their past health problems/history/incidences of sickness and trauma and as well as those close to them, had we lived 100, 200 or 300 years ago there would have been far fewer of us due to increased mortality from lack of modern medical intervention.War, famine, natural disaster and pandemics are pretty horrific ways population can decrease. I would hope the world collectively embraces family planning to mitigate the exploding population. Sad to see some political parties, when in power, defund any humanitarian groups that promote family planning (primarily through birth control education and aid) because it violates their religious beliefs (with no regard to the religious beliefs of those receiving the humanitarian aid).

Anyway, full circle here: more people, less trees, less charcoal, higher prices, lower quality.
