VENTURA, Calif., April 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The environmental
group Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) is
circulating and promoting a quiz about environmental issues,
especially the paramount, and taboo, issue of population
growth.
The quiz is designed to be a quick and interesting method to
provide important information about environmental issues. What have
we learned since the first Earth Day in 1970? What have we
forgotten that we should not have?
The quiz touches on domestic and international population
levels, depletion of wildlife, greenhouse gas emissions,
immigration levels, and contraceptive methods.
Viewers can take the quiz here: CAPS Earth Day
Quiz
Californians for Population Stabilization Executive Director
Ric Oberlink said:
"Since that first Earth Day,
global population has increased by 4 billion and the U.S.
population by over 100 million. The result has been a tremendous
loss of open space, pristine wilderness, and biodiversity. Habitat
loss due to human activity is by far the biggest threat to
endangered species.
"Unfortunately, large
environmental groups have become too politically correct to address
this fundamental issue. They are silent while the environment is
being destroyed.
"As David Brower, the
preeminent environmentalist of the last half of the
20th century and a member of the CAPS Board of
Advisors, stated, 'You don't have a conservation policy unless you
have a population policy.'"
* Last year, on the 50th anniversary of the first
Earth Day, CAPS produced a video to honor Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson. Nelson, an author of the
Wilderness Act, noted that concerns about overpopulation were a
central theme of the first Earth Day events.
That video received over one million views on Youtube and
Facebook!

* CAPS will participate in the 2021 Virtual Santa Barbara Earth
Day Festival—April 22, 23, and 24. Learn more here: Santa
