| #1 The recent call for one couple, one child, is interesting. If everyone complied, it would take about 500 years for extinction to occur, at most. It's likely that it would be sooner than that because of the preference for a male offspring in many cultures. The extreme of that would be if everyone chose a male child, aborting females. So, as soon as the last member of the next generation dies is the shortest time that we could no longer pollute Mother Earth. I'm sure she can hardly wait. |
