I don't like it when people list things that they don't like about this planet and I happen to be on that list, sometimes in multiple categories.

I second ATS - all our big problems (war, famine, disease, ecological devastation, global warming, overconsumption of resources, atmospheric contamination, mass extinctions of other species) boil down to overpopulation.

As for what to DO about it, I think that comprehensive sex education and abandoning some of the religious dogma that compels people to avoid birth control - and making it widely available - would help a little. The majority of educated, independent women don't really WANT to have more than a couple kids, generally. But I do not expect to see this accomplished in my life time.

Instead, we will surpass (actually, we have surpassed) the capacity of our habitat to sustain population growth. Our numbers will be diminished by famine (due to climate change), war (due to fossil fuel depletion) and disease (if you thought swine flu was bad, wait 'til you see bird flu!).

Mathematical population projections (based on the study of other forms of life) predict that the human population should peak around 2050 and then begin to decline.

So what can we do about it? Nothing.

Edit: but the planet? I love it. It's awesome.

I for one would love to hear what people don't like about this world. It would be neat to look at the list of complaints. Of course complaining about a volcano doesn't do much good, I was thinking about complaints that can be addressed.

I wonder if it would have a positive effect to look at the list. The logic is if you view something specifically negative, you might be inclined to do something about it. Charities and volunteering are great, so I want to credit that for what it is.

Sort list a complaint, and talk about it briefly.

So, any complaints? I'll start.

There are starving people young and old alike on many parts of the planet. Is there anyway to eradicate that more effectively than we are already trying?

Feces hurtling out of the sky to land on my head.

Darn you grandma!

I'm quite upset about the garbage patch, twice the size of Texas, that is floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I think that can be addressed, not holding my breath that it will.

Most problems come down to too many people.

Also, I wish the Earth had a bit less mass, so I could jump really high and far.

Or less gravity.

I'd like more fresh water on the world too. And more trees. And I think some parts of the world are too cold. Where I live, it's really really cold, then it gets nice for about two weeks, then it's really really hot and humid, then it gets nice for two weeks again, and then it's really really cold again. It's the worst place in terms of weather.

What I hate about the world that can be changed? Hmmm...... Too many people. Too many spiders. Too many boundaries and rules about who owns what. It's the freaking world. I should be able to go anywhere I want without being treated like a criminal. Land ownership blows. I'd like to go back to how the natives did it, where the land was everyone's. They weren't ********** about it. I mean, no one built their houses on top of other people's to make some dumb **** point about owning land being a good thing. They all just shared the resources and respected each other.

Alright... Who made ********* into a word automatically censored? What kind of a nazi place is this becoming? Next thing you know we won't be able to write whore or **** either. A douche is a real thing, and it's not even a swear word. That's another thing I hate about the world. People's weirdo definitions of which syllables are good and which ones are bad when spoken in a certain order... They are words.... Geeeze.
