There's just too many: too many people, too many lawns, too many cattle, too many business and industry that are sucking the rivers and aquifers dry.

What do we need? Family planning and an end to the madness of growth and development. I have no childen and plan on one child and adoption. We need to eat flexitarian - I eat about eight ounces of meat a month - the rest of the time vegetarian. We need native plants instead of lawns.

My group is working on truth-in-labelling: how many barrels of oil were used to make a product, how many gallons of water, how much electricity and so on. Consumers would buy the greenest product.
