However I think that one might be surprised to see how many of these ideas might actually become reality in the future. With an increasing need to change our ways, these ideas may seem ridicuolous, but they might be some of our only options.

It's such an enormous undertaking. I was always impressed that the developers would even try such a large project. I can see how marine environments might be effected though and I think that they need to take a closer look at the impact.

But realistically overpopulation and laziness are humanities major problems today. The only reason why people are not addressing it is because of it's a taboo and strong moral aspects. But look at the consequences these issues are having on everybody and everything, we are eventually at this rate going to not only destroy ourselves we are going to destroy our innocent earth. We are probably going to have to fix this problem ourselves individually since our global corporations and governments are not going to fix them in time. I think we should start going backwards. Regain our harmony with nature, live surrounded by green instead of grey, even most cars now days are grey! To start being an animal again, to regain our independence, to go back to pedalling instead of finding ways to make our lives easier as to not pedal but get technology to do it for us. I live in a city with dirty air, yet cars are allowed to travel around making the air even more dirty. Why are people just going around by bicycle? I get around by bicycle because its faster and cheaper and at the same time I don't dirty the air, except for farting every so often.

Of course, there are countries in Asia and Africa where slower growth would be wise. However in most of the nations where people are environmentally aware and are focusing efforts on improving the environment, there is still good quantity of available land. The US, for example, could absorb a much larger population. We don't want to take attention away from more important and more effective environmental approaches.

That is just stupid, yeah people are the part of the problem with the environment, but there are easier ways to solve the problems than just not having kids. GET REAL! People are also going to be the ones who solve the problems we are having, so why would you want to limit the amount of people?For all of you who think that is a good idea, I hope you're using protection. I also hope that you don't have children becuase, are you going to be the one who says one day to your son or daughter, "I don't want you to have a baby, it will hurt the environment?"Think about it.

Think about it.
