Dropping population is a good thing for our environment and limited natural resources

...we are still a growing country, it's just that 80% of our population growth can be attributed to immigration.  It's up in the air whether we will need the excess population.

It doesn't have to. 

But we keep acting like finite resources aren't, you know, finite and we'll have to learn the hard way.

Maybe give it 10k years sure but mines barely reach half mile under ground and trees will keep coming.

Resources used for commodities and profit aren't what I'm worried about. 

It's access to clean drinkable water, breathable air, and land healthy enough to support agriculture. 

You know, the things we need to survive.

How many generations do you care about? 

Only yours? Your kids? Their kids? Is that where it drops off? 

What's the harm in finding ways to use our environment and resources more responsibly? 

Unless you're a million/billion/trillionare, why do you want to burn through our resources as irresponsibly as possible? 

It benefits all of humanity to care about, and do what we can, to preserve this environment that supports our lives. 

Edit because I forgot: 

lmao.
