It isn't places like the UK that are overpopulated though, it's the developing world that's overpopulated and having way too many kids.

At this point though we've gone way off topic from the actual incident with the girl though, so I'll leave it there.

Those countries have lower levels of consumption and pollution. Since they are poor, they produce less trash and have lower COâ‚‚ emissions per capita. If everyone on the planet consumed as much as the average american or european citizen in the last ~100 years we'd be doomed already

There will come a time when even poorer countries will start to pollute heavily just like China is doing now

The fact is, Earth cannot survive if everyone wants to live within the comforts of a capitalist society

All those excess numbers from developing countries then pour into developed countries though and then consume and produce waste too.

Again though, this has gone off topic; a 12 year old girl should be allowed to celebrate her culture in her own country without being punished.
