Cuteness works with general population, attracts the crowds with kids to the zoo, where they are introduced with preservation programs, cuteness opens wallets for these programs, and elects green parties.Why do you keep insisting on the cute factor. In reality the cute factor is not the case. I tried to give you examples. The cute factor applies more to a kindergarden classroom lesson rather then a more scientific and mature environmental challenge wild habitat is facing.
I said many times that we should spend our limited money to protect oceans and rivers, then for less beneficial composting in the city, and usually terribly designed recycling programs. It will be much easier in the future to recycle garbage from a hole in the ground than all water in oceans.By the way even we do not live it....humans are having a huge impact on the seas, apart from over fishing which effects the Oceans and seas food chain there is an incredibel amount of pollution created by humans were huge areas of the oceans are simply turned into a rubbish dump.

I don't believe I would get any money or a praise from neighbors, when I open a habitat for mosquitoes, spiders and snakes in my yard.

It's also a problem of Europe and North America.Overpopulation is not a problem of Europe or North America. It is a Third World problem.
I was looking at lights of India! Its projected that they will reach 1.6 billion at some point. But also India 's economy is growing so there will be more street light at night in India. Seen from the space India will look a bright area with no dark shades.
Interestingly India is brighter than China, though China is much advanced economically.I was looking at lights of India! Its projected that they will reach 1.6 billion at some point.

Good Try but Hell NO :grin:
to leave in France standard, we need 2,5 Earth in 2012, now we need 3 Blue Planet.
After thinking that you killed all big mammals in a few seconds. (You said "Keep in mind that existence of big wild mammals is not necessary for people to exist.")
I guess, definition of sustainability is really different in your head

Any any other life form on Earth.Yes, seems that Malthus was right:
Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio, Subsistence, increases only in an arithmetical ratio.
Well, so much for the old idea that we would need to be able to colonize other planets because of our ever sky rocketing population growth.
Instead we'll become a world of AARP members.
How my father would have hated that. We were looking for a condo in Florida for their winters and for us to come down on school breaks and he turned down city after city because it was all old people! We finally found a place in a beautiful town with a decent demographic curve and some semblance of a cultural life.
I feel the same way about certain vacations. I saw a brochure for an Alaska cruise and there wasn't a person under 50. I've been told those river cruises in Europe are the same. Not for me, ever, thank-you very much. So many older people I meet stopped growing intellectually at about 35 it sometimes seems to me. I cannot believe how many don't use google very much, never mind youtube or twitter. In fact they can't use their laptops properly, or their phones. My relatives in Italy, the women, are the worst! The shock when I fly over and rent a car myself nowadays, and go exploring to cities where I've never been. It's the same with clothes. I still make my own sfoglia, but that doesn't mean I have to wear dowdy clothes. I mean, I'm not wearing leggings and a midriff top to the store anymore, just because I think it would look a bit inappropriate, but if I'm going running I'm going to wear the proper gear!
This is it, Angela
Traveling and seeing people in busy places and young people having fun in the real world and not in the metaverse imagined by Zuckerberg is much better. I had only one child because my wife, after giving birth, began to suffer from chronic hypertension. The two-child project was abandoned due to the risk of eclampsia in a second pregnancy. My son has been dating a beautiful and very responsible girl for six years. He spends more time at her house, which has its own apartment, than here at home. The two so far only care about working and saving money. They don't even mention children. My wife, on a day when the four of us went out for dinner, effusively mentioned her desire to be a grandmother and I could clearly see the discomfort of my son and his girlfriend. My wife had already had a little too much to drink and, just in case, I had to poke her under the table lol. In 2023, my son moves to the south of Brazil, leaving the Southeast, to start a new professional stage in the South. I want to see how the two are going to get ready. She does a lot of ‘remote work’ and the commuting to South would not be a problem for her. Both BH and the city he goes to are state capitals connected by duplicated and privatized federal highways (tolls) and have international airports. The two cities are connected by a duplicate motorway and are 980 km apart and a car trip could take 13h 48min. The air connection between the two cities is frequent and the two cities are served by the best air (and also road) transport companies in the country, which means that there will be no problems of displacement between the two cities (for them and, of course, for us, the parents lol, either by car, plane or bus). Children don't seem to be in their plans, and that seems to be the reality for all of my son's college classmates, all in their 27-year-old range. Today he, his girlfriend and some friends from college come here at home to play playing PlayStation 5. They just want to enjoy life and, from what I feel, children get in the way of their plans. My wife has just gone out to buy snacks to serve them, like the dutiful mother that she is, lol.
