Too many people having too many kids - often in
surroundings and conditions that cannot support them.
Too many people travelling - obsessed by "holidays" -
and affecting the planet's well-being.
In 1812, the population of the UK was given as 12
million. Allowing for infant mortality due to poor
life-expectancy that saw large families created to
ensure some children survived to care for their elders
in a society that had no social welfare, the near 6-fold
increase to the present day is still a generational nightmare.
