For those who are into #ZeroPopulationGrowth: I hope you have seen this, by the awesome late Hans Rosling:

This is the talk that made it routine for me to check the "total fertility rate" of this or that place before making statements about the population of that place.
Don't miss it:

About a year ago I remember reading that the survivors of the black plague otherwise doomed to extreme poverty got much better wages, land, homes, and for the first times in their lives could eat things other than bread.

I’m 70 years old. In the early 1970s the was this thing.. ZPG. #ZeroPopulationGrowth It changed my thinking. My wife and I had one child, our daughter has one child.
A coworker once mentioned habitat destruction, he had to explain it to me. I didn't believe it at first. It is now VERY apparent.
