What is the solution to overpopulation?

[NintenZero]

Just get rid of everyone and let the innocent animals be happy. c:

Best answer because there is no linear answer to this modern issue that has only been around for a blink of time in comparison to the past generations of humans.

genocide would be the only solution tbh but no one would agree

well, maybe if we killed all the poor/sick people... I know that sounds horrible but...

 

[OviRy8]

Restrict how many children someone can have

I think 2 max lmao

So you want us to become China.

I'm personally not down with that.

 

[piichinu]

dont let people in middle eastern countries have 9 kids and name them all the same thing

Why kill the poor when the rich almost always use more resources?

 

[Miii]

How about we don't kill people and, instead, change how we produce and distribute resources? We're currently producing enough food to ensure that everyone gets at least 2500 calories a day, we're just distributing it to some places (America, and other western countries) more than others.

 

[visibleghost]

tbh no genocide or mass killimg is needed, the west just needs to change our habits and stop overcinsuming and throwing stuff away

instead of killing people, how about we put them in space? build artificial mini planets?

im pretty sure with the technology we have and continue to make, we can make a planet.
its only if those rich elites even have the morality to put their funds into something progressive.
but im pretty sure for them, it would be easier to just "kill people"

that isn't possible but one can dream. we have discovered tons of exoplanets tho that may be habitable for life. they're too far away atm but scientists are trying to find ways to fuel the long journey for spacecrafts to be able to go first. asteroids have resources that we'll be able to use as basically a fuel station so we can eventually venture out of the solar system (which is v difficult in the first place) i hope it'll happen during our lifetime.

i don't think overpopulation is that related to over consuming? if anything the poorest countries have the largest populations.

yeah but there is more poor ppl than rich

and when I men poor I mean ppl that are in a really really bad condition

that won't help reduce overpopulation, tho

Changing how we produce resources (trying to eliminate waste, using more environmentally friendly packaging, shipment methods and energy sources) and distributing resources (like food and medicine) better would negate a lot of the effects of overpopulation we're seeing today, though, such as starvation, people dying of preventable diseases, and pollution.

 

[Amilee]

its not a space problem, its a resources problem tbh.
but obv money is more important than anything so we will never solve this

China already did it, you're too late.

 

[KingKyle]

Maybe ban marriage/or you-know-what for a while untill the population deceases?

 

[SugardewVillage]

stop people from having any children at all and only allow very few families to have kids

Banning marriage won't reduce the population, you can still have kids without being married.
