If we don't limit population growth, isn't being environment just a waste of time?

The...uh...'footprint' likely depends on the size, too. Less than another human, in any case.

 

There was an interesting article in the May/June 2008 issue of E, the Environmental magazine called Destination America: Immigration, the Environment and Big Population Numbers. Within the article this can be found,

"Without the constant influx of immigrants, the U.S. would indeed have a shrinking population similar to Western Europe. But with immigration it is slated to take a giant leap forward. The Census Bureau is projecting an incredible 419 million by 2050. With numbers like that, an American “birth dearth†affecting competitiveness is not only unlikely, it’s well nigh impossible."

This is just one passage among many but the article does provide an overview of immigration and population within an environmental context.

 

Yes, but if people can't afford to buy gas and go places they'll have to stay home and entertain each other, if you know what I mean.

We have only one child but it has nothing to do with population concerns, just my own sanity!
