Human population growth is a problem in that most humans consume more than they need. The Earth's resources are now strained to sustain the needs and wants of the human population, which continues to escalate.

Sharon Gannon

The optimum population is, then, less than the maximum.

Garrett Hardin

If you step back and look at the data, the optimum amount of red meat you eat should be zero.

Walter Willett

The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it.

Laurie Halse Anderson

Of course, a positive growth rate might be taken as evidence that a population is below its optimum.

Garrett Hardin

The optimum population is modeled on the iceberg- eight-ninths below the water line, one-ninth above.

Aldous Huxley

A finite world can support only a finite population; therefore, population growth must eventually equal zero.

Garrett Hardin

Either we leave our descendants an endowment of zero poverty, zero fossil-fuel use, and zero biodiversity loss, or we leave them facing a tax bill from Earth that could wipe them out.

Johan Rockstrom

The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.

John Holdren

Although reducing human emissions to the atmosphere is undoubtedly of critical importance, as are any and all measures to reduce the human environmental "footprint", the truth is that the contribution of each individual cannot be reduced to zero... If we believe that the size of the human "footprint" is a serious problem (and there is much evidence for this) then a rational view would be that along with a raft of measures to reduce the footprint per person, the issue of population management must be addressed.

Chris Rapley

If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.

Prince Philip

If [Donald Trump] is paid zero [taxes], that means zero for troops, zero for vets, zero for schools or health.

Hillary Clinton

A zero itself is nothing, but without a zero you cannot count anything; therefore, a zero is something, yet zero.

Dalai Lama

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Douglas Adams

Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.

Dalai Lama

The United Nation's goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion, forced sterilization, and control of human reproduction, and regards two-thirds of the human population as excess baggage, with 350,000 people to be eliminated per day.

Jacques Yves Cousteau
