Program Description: "If we don't do something about human numbers, we're essentially cooked." So says Paul Ehrlich, one of the world's foremost experts on limiting population growth and author of the 1968 classic bestseller The Population Bomb. He explains the major issues-what has gotten better, what is worse, and what to do now. "It's not a matter of debate that we have to reduce the scale of the human enterprise," he notes. "That's a given. The issue is what are the most sane, humane and effective ways of beginning to reduce the scale of our enterprise?" Listen and find out about the bigger picture, and how you can be part of making it a brighter one. Included in Deep Ecology for the 21st Century. 1 hour
