Talking about overpopulation isn’t sexy, but we have to do it.
Podcast host Veronika Perková created Nature Solutionaries to support inspirational conservationists and encourage listeners to do something good for nature. In this episode she interviews Terry Spahr, the environmentalist and producer behind the documentary 8 BILLION ANGELS. They talk about:
- how population growth impacts our lives, health, and the planet
- why so few people talk about overpopulation and why some even deny it
- why having a smaller family is the most impactful thing anyone can do
- why providing access to education and family planning methods helps both people and nature
- which countries are successfully slowing population growth
- why reducing consumption is almost impossible
- why educating people about population is part of the solution
