“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”

Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated "
 Mahatma Gandhi

[Derek]

With world population set to rise 40 per cent by 2050, human numbers are a crucial element of ecological sustainability and the biggest underlying cause of many environmental problems. In the UK, population is projected to increase by a sixth - 10 million people - in less than 25 years. Yet population has become the issue no one wants to talk about - ignored by governments, politicians, environmental groups and the media because it's too 'sensitive'. OPT believes the planet can't take any more people. It wants the UK to set an example to the world by adopting a national population policy - aimed, first, at stabilising and decreasing our numbers to what is environmentally sustainable and, second, maintaining them at that level (zero population growth).
