Agenda 21:
Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development.[1] It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. The "21" in Agenda 21 refers to the 21st Century. It has been affirmed and had a few modifications at subsequent UN conferences.
Structure and contents
Agenda 21 is a 700-page document divided into 40 chapters that have been grouped into 4 sections:
Section I: Social and Economic Dimensions is directed toward combating poverty, especially in developing countries, changing consumption patterns, promoting health, achieving a more sustainable population, and sustainable settlement in decision making.
Section II: Conservation and Management of Resources for Development Includes atmospheric protection, combating deforestation, protecting fragile environments, conservation of biological diversity (biodiversity), control of pollution and the management of biotechnology, and radioactive wastes.
Section III: Strengthening the Role of Major Groups includes the roles of children and youth, women, NGOs, local authorities, business and industry, and workers; and strengthening the role of indigenous peoples, their communities, and farmers.
Section IV: Means of Implementation: implementation includes science, technology transfer, education, international institutions and financial mechanisms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21Referring to population control:
The same theme was prevalent in the 2009 World Population Report released by the United Nations Population Fund entitled “Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate.” That document made a number of frightening assertions:
"Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time."
"No human is genuinely "carbon neutral," especially when all greenhouse gases are figured into the equation. Therefore, everyone is part of the problem, so everyone must be part of the solution in some way."
"Strong family planning programmes are in the interests of all countries for greenhouse-gas concerns as well as for broader welfare concerns."

However, is it such a bad thing?
The Earth is finite, its resources are finite, and I HATE BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE SUN IS IN SOMEONE EYES!
I slowed down to a DEAD stop on the highway because everyone is slamming on their brakes. Whether I'm driving to work, or home from work. Buy a pair of sunglasses, jerks.
Which got me thinking, is Agenda 21 such a bad thing?
I have a friend, she is younger than I. Disabled EOD Tech, injured during basic. She wants 4 boys. She has 1 daughter now. She is not in a relationship and relying on disability.
My cousin has 3 kids. Her life long dream was to have 4. Her marriage is on the rocks and under constant stress. At a family engagement last week she couldn't keep the 3 she has now under control.
Is it really such a bad thing?
