Wanted: 4 Billion Suicides October 28, 2011 10:06 pm Eri

On the news today: The world’s population is expected to reach 7,000,000,000 as of Monday or sooner. Per the story, pressure is put on resources of all kinds but particularly water. It takes gallons of water to make one friggin’ pair of jeans!

We need to solve this problem:

1: All residents of Earth will go naked in good weather and wear warm robes in cold weather. Jeans will be forbidden.

2. All wasting of water, including allowing farmlands to flood after spring rains is strictly forbidden. Snowpack melt will be gathered and channeled to areas where it’s needed.

Add your own rules…
