The United States has one of the largest ecological footprints of any nation. We also have the fastest population increase of any developed nation. Does this combination of factors affect the ability of the United States to call for movement toward a sustainable global population??

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Other nations may be reluctant to heed the calls for self-control and reduction of the environmental impact of populations given these facts and the rate of consumption in the U.S. Reduction of population size will be more difficult given the broad scope of opinion about reproductive freedom that exists in the country.
