Is Netherlands an overpopulated and polluted country? It is one of the best countries i have seen and its population density is 10 times higher than world average, so we can have 70 billion people living on earth without even discovering anything new.
As for resource depletion, 3.5 vs 7 billion people doesn't make that much difference, both are more than earth can support naturally without us constantly finding new ways to obtain resources.
After all the largest extinctions we have caused so far were megafauna extinctions 10k years ago and we managed to do that with just a few millions of people.
