What is a humans natural state?
If you look at countries where they have an overpopulation vrs those where we have a stable or population in decline, the countries in population decline are all wealthy and high technology. The populations on the rise are those in countries with little technology and poor economies. When you are well fed and well off you can turn off those survival genes that say 'make more babies' and start to rationalize things like having children.
Whatever is done lowering the standard of living is not the answer, if anything we need to raise it across the board. The problem with more 'earth friendly' concepts is they lower or in some cases VASTLY lower the standard of living.
