it's not just about population demographics; it is about large carbon
footprints due to capitalism, greed, and materialism. western populations are
probably one of the worse offenders, but the asian countries are rapidly
catching up with our model. more and more people are starting to curb their
voracious appetites, largely due to economic conditions. corporations that
feed the greed are also starting to feel the effect, but increased demand and
decreased supply still create increased profit.
