Resource consumption vs. birthrates
In response to Jackie Leonard-Dimmick's letter in the Jan. 30 "Readers Write": Her remarks on birthrates reflect a common misconception about the correlation between the number of babies born and each baby's demand for earth's resources. As two new American babies grow in our US society, they consume approximately as much as 14 babies in some developing countries. Perhaps we could learn from populations that use less of the world's resources, and start using them more humanely. Annie Higgins Jenin, West Bank
