.1/4 acre for each human would fill the size of Australia

.1/12 acre can produce enough food for one person

.permaculture farming does not deplete the soil

 I think we just need to take responsibility for ourselves.

realize your personal power and take it back from those who have stolen it.

Global Warming is a hoax, what is happening to the world is a natural cycle that the earth goes through every so many thousands of years. Scientists have been saying this for years, research for yourself and you will see. If my memory serves me correctly I believe that even the Discovery and History channels have had programs on the natural cycles that the earth is going through. As for depopulation control I suggest you research the illuminati and the agenda of the new world order.

If there are too many of us on the earth, why don't you environmentalists go first? What a sick puppy religion!

Thanks for mentioning overpopulation and the rapidly approaching die off. I favor containing the die off to third world countries as much as possible. If we act quickly, the die off will tapper off before it reaches the global north. Acting quickly means cutting off all food and medical aid to the third world. Also, we must contain them with fences and mobile forces. Sorry humanists, you should have embraced pop control in the 70's.
