Each depends on the others. Changing one won't work. Suzuki addresses climate change, consumption and growth but even he falls short of advocating for meaningful action on overpopulation.<br /><br />If we're bent on growing our population until we need 40% more food and 50% more energy by 2050 then we are choosing collapse. We're already well past Earth's maximum carrying capacity.
