I actually agree with August. Aside from controlling pollution, we need to control our population as well. The two go hand-in-hand really. I'm moderately in favor of the system China has: one child per household (unless the first one's a female or suffers from some kind of disease/disability), you pay extra taxes if you have more and can , you can only have another child every 3 to 4 years, minorities can be and usually are subject to different rules, twins are acceptable, you get the idea. They've shown it to be astoundingly effective. Discrimination or not, it's a matter of survival in the end. Of the country, of the populace, of our species really. And the planet in the end.
