Last November there was a letter published about leaving a liveable planet to today’s children. There is no issue more important than this.

To that end, I am for zero population growth. Every day babies are born and every day older people die. The population size stays about the same.

In line with zero population growth, I oppose the huge U.S. immigration program. Taking in around one million immigrants a year is foolhardy.

Let’s face it, the American lifestyle is excessive, wasteful and environmentally destructive. It has been said, if everyone lived like Americans, we would need five planets.

For the sake of our younger generation, we must cut back on immigration and change our wasteful ways. Let’s act before it is too late.
