(Washington, D.C.) — The PBS program, To The Contrary with Bonnie Erbé, is pleased to offer, free of charge, DVD copies of its award-winning, documentary-style coverage of how the environmental movement dropped population from its agenda and how population growth is affecting the US environment. Watching this series is a great way to learn why this incredibly important environmental issue is no longer covered by mainstream US media, or discussed as an environmental issue by federal officials.

…..

[The DVD] tells the story of how in the 1970s, population and environment were widely linked in the popular culture and by the environmental movement. But due to changes brought on by political correctness, women’s rights and other major cultural influences, the environmental movement dropped population stabilization from its agenda. In the intervening years, US population has risen from under 200 million to 310 million persons and is projected to reach 450 million by mid-century.

We are happy to consider requests for multiple copies of the DVD. All we ask is that you e-mail requests to: tothecontrary@hotmail.com and tell us who you are and who else will see the DVD. Please feel free to play it in public fora such as community centers, environmental group meetings, church meetings and so on.
