State Economy]

about the fundamental conflict between economic

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.

point bigger is not better. Through education, research,

communities in Central Virginia.

addressing the impact of rapid population growth on the
quality of life and the potential for a sustainable Florida
for our grandchildren.
