This is the age old debate about human nature.
We have a biological imperative to consume and reproduce. Unchecked consumption and reproduction is unsustainable give finite resources.
Can we curb those innate desires, and can we do so ethically? It's not a simple answer.
Humans have existed for 300,000 years. It is only in the last few hundred that we have decided on this route. It is not human nature to consume and reproduce more than a ecological niche can support us and many peoples across the world live in balance with their ecosystems before Europeans invaded them.
