"We don't see Y6B as a problem, but rather a milestone," said
Zero Population Growth Director of Communications Tim Cline. The mission
of
Y6B is to educate women, provide women with economic opportunities and
provide women with more reproductive health care.
Ed says:
Again ZPG seems to avoid taking a stance on stopping or
reducing overpopulation. A milestone is thought of by most
people as an achievement and ZPG states that a population
of 6 billion is not a problem. Whose side are these guys on?
If one of the leading population organizations implies that
continued growth is not a problem is it any wonder that our
government, media, and couples everywhere are unconcerned
about overpopulation?
ZPG, by failing to take a stance on overpopulation, is undoing
or at least limiting the impact all its population education
programs may be having. Numbers are important and yet it
is not hard to imagine that in about a dozen years ZPG will
acknowledge yet another milestone -- Y7B.
