It is about the current number - and ever growing; by the second - of living fellow human beings and their legitimate needs of healthy food, clean water and air, decent education and health care in relation with the FACTUALLY available resources and means (no 'would' or 'could') and, most importantly, with regard to the harmony and balance of Mother Earth and of the flora and fauna.
