Western population degrowth is a good idea. We can do it by improving sex education, improving access to reproductive healthcare, paying a basic income to women, increasing social security, and doing green development of rural areas and the rust belt.

We can also lower the energy needs of the west by stopping new car sales, de-militarizing, rezoning the suburbs, creating policies requiring products to last longer, reducing access to metals and plastics, stop subsidizing beef and dairy, among other policies.
