RE: [11thhour-2] One New Arrival Negates 80 Lifetimes Of ResponsibleRecycling - My initial reaction to the article was that it short sightedly considered only the UK, and not the globe. If someone doesn't immigrate, they are still somewhere else, so there is not a net global effect, just a local one. Bob Summersgill Feb 21, 2008 5:31 PM
RE: [11thhour-2] One New Arrival Negates 80 Lifetimes Of ResponsibleRecycling - You know, I've read a lot of things like this, and I have no doubt in the accuracy of these numbers. Still, I have my doubts as to whether the overpopulation problem is the proper starting point at which to address our environmental crisis. --Fi Lara Ballard Feb 21, 2008 5:10 PM
