According to a forthcoming report from the World Wildlife Fund, Earth will run out of natural resources required to support humans within the next 50 years.
What can you do to prevent this?
– Give up your car or at least drive an extremely fuel-efficient, low-polluting model and use public transit, bikes or your feet whenever possible.
– Elect environmentally-aware politicians and pressure those in office to resist short-sighted and suicidal corporate greed.
– Reduce your impact on the environment by eating lower on the foodchain and by buying organic produce and sustainably-harvested products (particularly sea and forest products such as fish and wood).
– Consume less.
– Promote peace; war and the military-industrial complex which encourages it pollute the environment and humans at deep and dangerous levels.
Dosen’t war reduce the population? you could also start by using some condoms or just date with in your own sex that helps the enviroment.

Yes, keeping the population down is a good thing, but I am not sure that “war reduces the population” is really an accurate statement. It doesn’t tend to reduce the population in the countries which use the most resources (witness the U.S, baby boom after WWII, for example) and the environmental damage from fire alone probably offsets any benefits due to population reduction (e.g. burning oilfields in Kuwait in the Gulf War).
By the way, Jacob, condoms by themselves are inadequate to protect reliably against pregnancy. You may want to look into other methods. I know several men who are very happy about their vasectomies.
I don’t recall ever seeing the old Amiga logo, or for that matter, an old Amiga. Sorry to spoil the fun with originality instead of pop culture references.

Well, maybe not all we got, but certainly if we continue at the present pace the planet will be a drastically nastier place to attempt to live by then.

I say use up the resources and get it overwith.
