Agree. Earth as a whole do not lack human, just the matter of imbalanced distribution. More people simply means more pollution and waste. People should consider the idea of "continues growth" as an illness.

If you think people are a problem why not be the solution in your own life?

One can think people are a problem and still cherish life (the two are probably correlated). That's why it's fortunate that the population reduction is happening spontaneously.

As others have said, the average fertility rate is below replacement, so if you talk to an average person "being the solution" is already the case.
