Propaganda has gradually made people widely believe that the Earth's population is growing uncontrollably, threatening the planet’s resources, ecosystems, and overall sustainability. But this believe remains a simplistic approach of the complexities of population dynamics, resource distribution, and environmental impacts. While it is true that global population has been increasing, as a result of technological advancement and healthcare improvement, the real concern is not the sheer number of people, but rather how resources are consumed and distributed. Overpopulation fears often ignore the role of unequal resource allocation, wasteful consumption patterns, and the environmental degradation driven by industrial and agricultural practices that are not inherently tied to population size. All this are the immediate causes of poverty, unemployment, and massive rural migration. Moreover, demographic trends indicate that many regions, particularly in developed countries, are experiencing declining birth rates and aging populations, which could lead to a population stabilization or even a decline in the coming decades. The myth of overpopulation also overlooks the potential in manpower for technological innovation, sustainable agricultural practices, and shifts in global economic systems that could allow for more equitable resource distribution. Thus, addressing environmental issues and sustainability requires a shift in focus from population numbers to more nuanced solutions that tackle inequality, redefinition of north-south cooperation, consumption patterns, and environmental stewardship and responsibility. My interest in this topic is to create awareness among the youth and married couples, even policymakers about the danger associated with some of the, so called, modern behaviour related to sex, the use of contraceptive, the right to abortion etc… I am very happy this paper is being published roughly a year from “Infinite Dignity”, a declaration released by Pope Fran
