Pictureguy, buddy, pal... You worry too much. :)Let's talk about pollution, fishing, consumption, water. The U.S. makes up approximately 4.3 percent of the world's population, yet provides resources to many other countries. We might say that we're the engine which makes a lot of the world sustainable.
As I wrote, maybe we should stop doing that. Nations which are unable or unwilling to support themselves will necessarily shrink their populations, their consumption, their pollution, their water usage, etc. Nature provides opportunities to control population growth. Disease, famine, etc. are natural limiters. Yet, what do we do whenever such events happen?
Again, China and India make up about one third of global population. TWO countries make up one third of the global population! Think about that. Sure, both of them have pockets of prosperity, but the vast majority of their billions of people are poor and dependent upon others to sustain them, and are contributing the vast majority of pollution to lakes, rivers, and oceans. Have you seen the pictures and videos of the squaler in even their most prosperous cities?
So, once again: Maybe we should stop helping them. Just provide for ourselves, and the heck with the .orgs and government programs. It'll be great for the environment and the planet. I'm not kidding - maybe that's the solution.
I know, it's a brash and harsh approach, but what alternative is better AND will accomplish the goal you say we should achieve? We can't help everyone AND reduce world population.
