6. A maximum of 3 billion and a goal of 2 billion humans

is the only thing that will save us and thousands of the World's species. We lack the will to change. Some of us have changed, but overall, there's too many people adding to what's wrong with our species and too many people breeding uncontrollably.

Match human populations to graphs showing CO2 pollution, the destruction of species, plastics in the food chain or anything else negative. There's a one to one correlation. We're the problem. Less of us is the only way to save anything at this point and again, nobody is addressing the problem on a global scale. We need leadership, but good luck finding anyone willing to take a political stand on the issue, for as much as we know we need to change, there's absolutely no way a leader would ever be re-elected, let alone survive their first term if they stood up and lead on population control. It's a pickle. Enjoy the time you have.
