Immense effort put into making environmentally friendly measures mainstream and perfecting and honing them. The end of wasteful human endeavours that encroach on other species and ecosystems. Reverse population growth.

Curious. How do you propose we reverse population growth? Even if we opened the gates to abortion and other forms of birth control, that's not going to even remotely dent the rate of population growth unless we introduce a one child rule like China and what would that say for social liberties?

That's essentially what would be required, but I'd like to hope people do it of their own accord rather than having to be forced.

Look up VHEMT.

That's quite nihilistic.

It's also VERY unrealistic if left strictly to volunteerism.
Such a movement would require government mandates (China) or some other form of decimating event (plague, war, alien invasion)

Nihilistic or not, it's one of the many things we need to do if we're not to completely destroy this planet.

Humans are biologically K breeders, but in reality we multiply like R breeders.
