In the Connectivity of the Universe, to Breed or not to Breed is the Question

With over seven
billion humans on the planet earth, it is increasingly being questioned
whether the planet earth is capable of sustaining the current rate of
increase of human population!
Man-made causes, such
as unbridled energy consumption, overuse of natural resources, land
degradation, air and water pollution are issues said to be affecting
sustenance of life, not just human but the entire diversity of life on
earth.
The best two definitions of sustainability are given as:
“Sustainability is a
concept which promotes equality between the people of today and the
people of tomorrow. …. Our needs of today must be taken care of in such a
way that it does not negatively impact the needs of the next
generations”
And, “stabilizing the
currently disruptive relationship between earth’s two most complex
systems—human culture and the living world.”
