I am pessimistic about our future because so few people are even aware, much less concerned, about what population growth is doing to my state, my nation and my world. It depresses me to think about what my grandchildren will face concerning air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and the conflicts which will surely come over rights to these things. It could get ugly, and probably will, if we don't soon learn how to cut population growth to zero, or even to a negative.
