World Population Balance members come from both sides of the political aisle
as well as from various sides of other issues. For example, many members are
strongly pro-life and others are pro-choice. We respectfully agree to disagree
about the very difficult issue of abortion in order to focus time and energy
upon population stabilization.
We realize that God has given us the responsibility to be good stewards of
the Earth. People need to come together as a global community to bring about
stabilization in a humane and intelligent manner.
Our Mission
World Population Balance is dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits
of population stabilization. Some Americans are knowledgeable and concerned
about population growth. At the other end are some who disbelieve the facts.
However, it is our experience that most people have no factual awareness of
the seriousness and magnitude of the issue. We are primarily interested in educating
these tens of millions who lack basic understanding of the facts. We present
our message through public programs and conferences, appointments with elected
officials, written articles, our Web site and newsletter, and TV, radio and
newspaper interviews.
Members of the World Population Balance Board of Advisors include: Dr. Norman
Borlaug, Nobel Peace laureate and "father" of The Green Revolution; Sister Mary
Zirbes, retired from the Office of Social Justice of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, Minnesota; and Dr. Tom Hale, medical missionary in Nepal since
1970.
World Population Balance hosts or co-hosts conferences and other events that
feature internationally known experts on the population stabilization issue. These
events are open to the public and document the critical issues of continuing, rapid
population growth -- coupled with declines in key resources -- throughout much of the planet.
Believing strongly in democracy and individual freedom, members of World
Population Balance oppose any coercive population control measures.
