"Many of his suggestions are problematic, if not downright morally offensive, and his doomsday scenario has (at least in some instances) been avoided, but his premise remains sound. We have been irresponsible trustees of the earth and it will ultimately lead to the destruction of our species. While his speculations about the future are faulty, his look to the past sheds enormous light on the underlying causes behind our reckless approach to conservation."
"This should be assigned reading in every high school. Why this issue doesn't get discussed much anymore is unclear to me. If the world population continues to double every 40 years, it won't be long until the world is a mean and ugly place."
"In my formative 20's, after I read this book in 1968, I invited a group of people to my tiny cottage in Coconut Grove, Florida, and that night formed a Miami chapter of Zero Population Growth (ZPG). I had my first baby in the summer of that year and proudly wore a pin on my sundress or tank top: "Stop at 2!"
"Like many of my generation, I grew up expecting nuclear war or accident, to which fears were added those of civil collapse and environmental destruction during high school. Unlike some, I sought out information about these eventualities rather than trying not to think about them and became politically active early on as a quixotic gesture in defiance of what appeared increasingly inevitable. In this context, my dad's copy of Ehrlich's Population Bomb was just more grist for the mill, a little light reading during Christmas break from college.
I had not expected the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the effect of the Chinese two-child policy or ever getting to be as old as I am now. While grateful, the extra years have not made me more hopeful except in the trivial sense that I may not live to see the collapse personally."
