One of the most comprehensive and meaningful websites I have read so far: The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT)
Another thoughtful article which talks about the taboo topic “Eugenics”: Future Generations
It is almost scary to have understood the nature and scale of the problem we are heading to, and despite the existence of workable solutions, it is almost too late. We are letting mother nature to adjust the balance, at great cost to humanity and our planet.
Humans have screwed up the earth, and committed unthinkable crimes against each other. All in the name of unsatisfiable greed and hunger for so-called “growth” and “civilization”. Other species are dying out because of our actions. The planet can do much better with less of us, maybe only those who live consciously and with minimal footprint.
A study shows that even if a government policy restricts one child per woman, it would take decades for the world population to come down to a more sustainable level. But that is never going to happen. Once the population grows beyond the tipping point (it might already have) when no amount of technology can sustain the system, the civilization will likely implode with great losses of life and resources. I just hope I won’t live long enough to see that day.

Thanks a lot for those encouraging words, Joy.
I’m sure others would get over their initial reactions of shock and resentment once they go through the website.
Btw we are having our first VHEMT India meet at Mumbai on the Stairs opposite Bombay Blues at Kalaghoda on Sunday, the 3rd October.
Everyone is invited.
