The 6.5 billion we have right now are doing IRREPARABLE harm to our planet. There's no way around it. There's nothing wrong with less people. Get over it.

You cannot just say, "Okay, we're going to educate everyone and increase living standards and then there will be less people on the planet."
YOU CANNOT DEPOPULATE THE WORLD WITHOUT KILLING PEOPLE.

Get realistic.
Do you think 6.5 billion are going to drop the kind of life they've been living and turn it all around for the sake of following generations and the planet they won't be around to see? They won't. We've proven ourselves to be totally unconcerned with the subsequent effects of our daily actions.
It's a crapload more realistic
than controlling how many children EVERY PERSON ON EARTH has. 6.5 Billion can be made to use more renewable resources, if governments got on board with it and started making laws to preserve our planet. If squiggly bulbs were the only bulbs on the shelf, people would buy squiggly bulbs. If every car on the dealer's lot got 35 mpg or more, people would buy 35 mph vehicles. If electricity came from a dam or a windmill or a solar farm instead of a coal factory, people would still use it - these things don't affect us, really.
Now if you tell 6.5 billion people, "Okay, from now on, one kid per family!" then well, I would imagine most people would rather kill whoever passes that law than kill their own second child.
