Lepus..
Good points, but consumption is of far greater importance than population. You only have to compare, say, the US population, to that of an African country, and look at the individual ecological footprints. If we all consumed differently the population wouldn't be as much of an issue. It's mostly an issue because more and more people seek that highly consumerist lifestyle. The issue isn't the existence of a large number, not by itself. It's not that they live but how they live..
The continued demand for ivory, rhino horn, and other products is due to superstitions in East Asia as well as them being luxury goods, among the middle class people there..
Soy is overwhelmingly fed to cows, pigs, and chickens..
Palm oil is a pointless product, it's in stuff where we don't need it, like cookies and shampoo. A large chunk is also put in vehicles as ''green fuel'' which is of course a major example of greenwashing. All those silly discussions when we could simply build more nuclear power plants but too many people think cutting trees or using vegetation as ''green fuel'' is better and cleaner.. lol.
