A concise statement that sums up everything we face. Marianne Gabel.

It's all of the posts I've made, in one paragraph. I've found it to be the simplest answer, and the most uncomfortable one. But since it's so elegant, I wanted to post it here.


“The number of people on our earth, and the rate at which we are consuming the earth’s resources, underlies all other concerns about conservation, food security, women’s empowerment, protection of wildlife and all species, security of nations, equality among peoples and the purity of the very air, water and soil on which we all survive.“

~ Marianne Gabel, Population Connection Board of Directors and member since 1997
