   Hi Natasha,

   I really liked your video, very well done. However, I find a reference to “capping population” quite worrying…

   To clarify what I mean by “capping population”: reduce global over population by limiting population growth through education & contraception. Thank you for your feedback.

   excellent animation.
   I thought that one of your key points that overpopulation is the actual main cause of climate change is sadly overlooked. (recycling more and using more public transport are relatively easy to do, controlling how many more humans we create to this overpopulated world is much more difficult; more humans mean more consumers mean more pollution. Even to suggest this to some green campaigners causes them to become hostile and angry – the right to breed without thought to the consequences in the west and developed world is seen as a key freedom).
   This is less of a problem in undeveloped world as each person consumes much less.

    Natasha u’ve done an amazing piece of work!
    I remember when u 1st started with all the ideas up on the wall & to transform so much into a one minute film…WOW!
    U have a real talent & once you’ve slept for a few months hopefuly you’ll get the chance to make some more of your great ideas into films.
    As for capping population, we are humans, not rabbits & have a responsibility to the earth & to future generations.
    GOOD LUCK!

    Yes, overpopulation has a detrimental causal link to climate change, a subject most people reject as nonsense. The introduction of earth taxes is a means to curbing population growth and carbon output because the higher the population, the more tax a country would pay. Same, goes for carbon output, higher output equals more tax. I understand it is time to reward mother earth for all she has nurtured and continues to sustain.
    Thank you all for your individual comments, feedback and votes.

    I really liked the punch of your script, the way the animations emphasised your points, and the economy of it. Good luck! Gareth

    The 6 thousand-million people already on the planet means the current 1.2% growth rate creates a staggering 72 million more people each year.

    Thats a new UK in 10 months, a new Germany in 14months, or a new USA every 4 years.

    Good film, good idea. Dont fight the symptoms, fight the cause.
