What can we do about it? - reply

One way to slow down the rate of population growth, which is perhaps the
best first step, is to lengthen the generation time.  Good educational
programs that encourage young women to delay the time when they start
their families are to be encouraged and fostered (the males must also be
included in this).  If nothing else, this at least extends the life-span
of non-replaceable resources.
