TQ for yet another inspiring article. creativity indeed! In high school we had a teacher who encouraged us to think (pun intended) about searching for ways to deal with nuclear waste. Of course that was a tough one, but solutions to waste-management are good indicators of the way in which communities deal with their more 'sleazy' aspects. It's also not something we've heard about much by the creepy New Green Dealers.
Another thought concerns the relation between prosperity, poverty and population growth, because it seems that fewer children are being born in more affluent communities. When there are better prospects for upward mobility and a real-time expectation of achieving greater wealth for the next generation, families seem to be getting smaller. Which might be one explanation of the gradual development from large, extended families in to the more modern, nuclear one. In short, increasing living standards for poorer communities seem to correlate with a decrease in population growth. Alleviating poverty should really be an issue much more seriously addressed than just for theatrics or a better return on loans (World Bank, anyone?).
