One day this entire structure will collapse. Governments will be helpless. There will be no food, no vegetarian or non-vegetarian. This will not be due to  war or natural upheaval,  but will be due to population explosion. Population is the biggest threat to humanity, which is growing at such a rapid pace towards us  that if we not do something about it today, tomorrow it will be too late!

Amit Tiwari

Overpopulation is a serious threat to our own existence Its a high time we should start taking this as same problem how we feel and take same action for any essential or medical services in this country . Today India is stretched to its limit due to overpopulation. Any overpopulated county  leads to economic inequality, poverty, lack of free medical assistance, lack of social security and bad living conditions. It is high time that we should start to think individually and take collective responisibility and work on this initiative together.

Because I was born and brought up on a small island constrained by its size and isolation, I realised from a very early age that understanding population size, its growth and how it is controlled is essential to the societies well-being and its environment. I went on to graduate as a Marine Biologist and it was whilst working as a research scientist in Africa that I realised that something needed urgently to be done to avert the impending looming global population crisis. Since that time, I have continuously taken an active role, both in my private and public life to promote population restraint.
Like many people, who have had the good fortune of a loving upbringing and a privileged education, I believe that I should do something to better the world going forward. It has always been my belief that the human race needs to co-operate internationally when it comes to population size. My aim is to raise awareness of the dangers of human overpopulation. This is the main purpose of this website and film(s) which the company (GUTS) aims to produce.

The interplay now between climate change, environmental catastrophes (even in developed countries. viz bush fires in Australia), global pandemic, nasty increases in populist governments and policies, huge numbers of peple living in absolute poverty and poor health and well-being, the young-biased age structures of populations in developing countries (and the impacts of elderly structures in some developed countries (e.g. Italy, Japan) all combine to impact on global human population; there are complex interactions and feedbacks, but in the end it is sheer numbers of people that have to be addressed.

Population is increasing day by day this is a serious concern for the world. We together have to unite and do something about this for our present and future generations..

Kevin Clyde-Smith

Jersey, Channel Islands I am in total agreement with the aims of this website in bringing the major problem of over population to the attention of the whole world

Sarra Clyde Smith

Jersey This is long overdue and a project I am passionate about

Julie Kenny

You have my support. I believe the earth's resources are indeed finite. Problems of pollution, climate change and our pushing many species of wildlife to extinction could all be solved and more easily managed if there were no overpopulation. As an economist UK I believe that our aspirational growth models are partially to blame and outdated and that politicians must be duly reigned in.

Giles Pickles

UK Population control is by far the biggest issue facing us, surpassing the much addressed climate control. Looking upon population growth responsibly has been addressed by China, albeit in not totally satisfactory manner. The results were that population growth was checked. So it can be done. It needs to be done if we are to survive. The world would be a much better place if we face up to this issue and if we do not there will be no world as we know it.

Roy Darkin

UK Reaching land is so depressing these days with too many people everywhere so I restock quickly and spend my days sailing.

Toby Richardson

UK Optimal population is an issue which rationally ought to be near the top of every government’s long term agenda but a real appreciation of the risks of overpopulation and overconsumption is required to ignite the debate.
