According to scientists, overpopulation is the single biggest threat to the environment.

So, the answer to your question would be: we need to drastically reduce the amount of humans living, breathing, eating, drinking and generally consuming things on this planet.

How do we do that, that's another interesting question.

Isn't the way we relate to each other and the environment the more immediate threat? People the world over are ignoring the signs here. Also: overpopulation and subsequent movement of that population wouldn't be an issue if we had our shit together, amirite?

Eh... I don't know. I think overpopulation is an issue we're going to have to deal with sooner or later anyway...
