I won't be able to listen to today's show until this evening, but this forum gives me hope that at least locally some people feel as I do, that overpopulation should be the primary environmental issue, and all others become meaningless until we deal with it. 

I joined Population Connection when they were still Zero Population Growth, and grew up in the '70s when it was already obvious that our lifestyle was unsustainable. I chose not to have children, became a vegetarian in my 50's, bike to work whenever possible, and am creating a habitat in my backyard, yet even among family and friends I am misunderstood. Until everyone acknowledges the nightmare of overpopulation, we're doomed.
