Thank you for the great programs for Earth Day. I love the Earth, and you treated her with great respect. There is one issue, however, that has been greatly neglected. What are we going to do about OVERPOPULATION!! As I watched your stories about over fishing, over cutting, over carbonizing, and the potential disasters that await us all if the trend is not stopped, I am amazed that nothing is being said about the mathmatical statistics regarding the geometrical progression of human population. It is the 800 lb. gorilla in the room with us! I remember in the '60s there was a movement called "Zero Population Growth". People demonstrated and formed associations. Where have they gone?? All your good work, I fear, is for naught, if we do not address and act upon this problem. There have been efforts in China to curb their growth problem. Can't we learn from their mistakes? There must be an acceptable way to at least stop the incredible series of doublings of people on the globe that is workable. I love your work, and congratulate you on this years best work yet. I know you are capable of raising the world's awareness of the coming tsunami of humans. Thanks for all you do. Rosemarie Stinnett,
