Ever see heads nod when someone says “Well, the elephant in the room is overpopulation” only to find that no one is willing to say what that means? I did, plenty of times in conversations with environmentalist friends. I had always wondered about population growth. Did it really have an impact, particularly on me? My friends seemed to be implying the same thought, yet none of us knew how or where to begin talking about population growth as a sustainability issue.
The People Factor podcast is a place for exploration and discussion about population growth. It’s a safe place to consider population growth from many different angles, some positive, some negative, but always with an eye to the role population growth plays in building stable, just economies, sustainable environments and equitable societies. It’s a fascinating, funny, heartbreaking and inspiring journey into what we all share as human beings.
