| What You Can Do
- Join World Population Balance. We depend
upon your support!
Contact your Congressperson and U.S. Senators, and ask them to support
population stabilization. We have provided a sample
letter and a form to help you find your officials' Web sites.
- Every few weeks, select some current event that is being exacerbated by
continuing population growth, contact your members of Congress again and point
out how stabilization would improve the situation. This reinforcement is very
important, both for them and their staff members.
- Contact your State Legislators and county and local officials and educate
them, as well. Stress that stabilizing population is a necessary step in solving
many of our state and local problems. Ask them to organize and support informational
seminars about the population growth issue for their members and their staff
people.
- Write letters to your local news media
explaining the benefits of population stabilization. Also, ask them to cover
all news events where increasing population is a driving factor by clearly
explaining that connection in the story. Write them again every few weeks
and continue to reinforce the fundamentals.
- Openly discuss the population issue with your friends. Point out that population
is a fundamental component in urban sprawl and many
other related issues. Work the population topic into daily conversations.
- Have fewer children to help insure that your children and their
children will live in a quality, life-supporting world. If your children or
grandchildren are grown, encourage them to have fewer children, as well.
- If you are interested in participating in a coordinated effort to educate
members of the media, please contact
us. Results are greater when several people work in a coordinated fashion
to educate the same key people.
Each time you hear about a major problem in our society, think about how
population growth affects that issue and how stabilization would help. Then
help others understand the linkage.
- Continue to learn more about the issue. Your grandchildren's quality of
life depends upon it!
- Remember that one person can make a difference. Change begins with an individual
or small group of concerned people.
- Help arrange programs at your place of worship, club, school, college and
other organizations.
