We lead with an update on the battle of the overpopulation billboards with Canadian politicians. Our One Planet, One Child project is posting an ad responding to MP Garnett Genuis’ ad promoting large families.

Then we turn the conversation to the overarching question that academics, politicians, and humanity as a whole struggle to answer: How can humanity move towards a common vision and process for achieving ecological sustainability and justice, before we suffer an irreversible catastrophic collapse of civilization? Those advocating for planetary protection and those fighting for social justice want the same thing.

The Overpopulation Podcast is produced by World Population Balance, a non-profit organization committed to alerting and educating that overpopulation is a root cause of resource depletion, species extinction, poverty, and climate change. Our mission is to chart a path for human civilization that – rather than causing greater misery – enables good lives on a healthy planet. We advocate and support a smaller, truly sustainable human population – through dramatic and voluntary reduction in birth rates. 

We envision a world where no one suffers in dire poverty and misery for lack of enough food, water, and other basic needs. We see a world where all species thrive and where lower consumption and population are in balance with Earth’s finite resources.
