This important topic will be presented in two parts by David Paxton, founder and President of World Population Balance. David Paxson is a national leader on the issue of population growth and stabilization. He has spoken to groups across the country, and he participated in the UN Population Conference in Egypt in 1994 and at international meetings since then. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Economics and a concentration in Environmental Education and Policy and worked at the Center for Population Studies at the University of Minnesota.

In 1991 he retired from the financial field and founded World Population Balance. Some members are strongly pro-life and others are pro-choice. They have respectfully agreed to disagree about the very difficult issue of abortion in order to focus time and energy upon raising awareness about the critical importance of balancing human numbers with global resources.

David is hopeful. He believes that as people learn the realities about the current impact of rapid population growth upon declining global resources, they will take fair and humane action to help stop world and national population growth in order to maintain a viable planet for our children of the future.
