    We could also reduce our population and keep eating meet and doing other things that make life enjoyable. Besides, who wants to live on a planet that crowded?

      It isn’t that crowded. If you live in a city center it’s easy to assume everywhere is the same but that is cognitive dissonance. Many buildings are empty because of short term renting (which could easily house the homeless) and way too expensive for what it should be

      much land that would be considered for food crop is taken up with concrete which actually increases the temperature of the earth making things much worse.

      The need for grain and water to feed for meat production is 10 x more than what human would consume so there already is more than enough food for humans.

      You’d still need humans to manufacture and distribute food to exist.

      So Cutting down the human population to contain The very life style you want is still a problematic lifestyle to be sustainable

          Look at the link I posted. It’s simply not true anymore. We will hit 10 billion, but because of things that already happened. Overpopulation is not the issue anymore. Our lifestyle is.
