Giving Crumbs To The Poor. Overpopulation And Environmental Degradation

                                             Addressing poverty and environmental degradation that often accompanies poverty in the third world has to move beyond far beyond giving, which amounts to nothing more than crumbs that makes givers feel good and grants bragging rights. Millions of poor families have no escape, but might make the choice to limit family size if affordable, safe family planning were provided. A family without resources or with few resources that has many children guarantees poverty for the children, whereas if the family size were limited to one or two children, there would be a far greater chance for the children to have a better life and to rise out of poverty.
                                             Giving, even though the giving is wholly inadequate in this day and age of mass poverty, severe overpopulation and environmental degradation, has to move beyond what makes donors and charities feel good. There is mass poverty, especially in many third world countries where hundreds of millions of lives are simply ruined. This earth is not big enough to provide for the huge demands of an ever growing human population that has already devastated much of the natural environment. Overpopulation is a serious issue, and addressing it has everything to do with poverty and saving the environment.
