“13 barriers to communicating the population message”
- Share to:
opulation Matters patron Prof. Aubrey Manning pointed out that “In biological terms the Earth is already overpopulated and the life support systems on which all depend are threatened. The conventional view, in Scotland as almost everywhere, is that we need more people to ensure ‘economic growth’. In fact, Scotland has thousands of under-achieving young people who deserve more attention. Human numbers must be recognised as a key factor for any society: in the end growth is impossible. It threatens the quality of our existence and effectively condemns us to struggling up a down escalator”. Family planning pioneer Dr Libby Wilson said that “Motivation, or lack of it, to use family planning, in both sexes, is the overriding problem in the UK: long-acting methods could be used more. In much of the rest of the world, the problem is inadequate access to cheap and reliable contraception”.
Patrick Harvie MSP felt that there is an environmental crisis: people need to be engaged in this issue to see the need for change in their life-style.
