Inb4 always wear a suit, jesus, what are you thinking!?!?

If it matters, the interview is with the Sierra Club.

Unpaid position? You should wear a suit top at least, but if you left it somewhere inconvenient I think you'd be okay wearing a sweater. You sure you can't just borrow a button down and a tie and only show your upper body?

Somehow borrowing never occurred to me. I'm sure I could, but the fit might look absurd--all of my friends at LS are either much taller, much shorter, or much fatter. Also I have plenty of button downs, I'd just need to borrow a tie/jacket.

Ehrlich argues that as the existing population was not being fed adequately, and as it was growing rapidly it was unreasonable to expect sufficient improvements in food production to feed everyone. He further argued that the growing population placed escalating strains on all aspects of the natural world.

In answer to the question, "what needs to be done?" he wrote, "We must rapidly bring the world population under control, reducing the growth rate to zero or making it negative. Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved" . . . . Ehrlich floats the idea of adding "temporary sterilants" to the water supply or staple foods . . . . He suggests incentives for men who agree to permanent sterilization before they have two children, as well as a variety of other monetary incentives. He proposes a powerful Department of Population and Environment which "should be set up with the power to take whatever steps are necessary to establish a reasonable population size in the United States and to put an end to the steady deterioration of our environment." The department should support research into population control, such as better contraceptives, mass sterilizing agents, and prenatal sex discernment (because families often continue to have children until a male is born. Ehrlich suggested that if they could choose a male child this would reduce the birthrate).

The Population Bomb was written at the suggestion of David Brower the executive director of the environmentalist Sierra Club, and Ian Ballantine of Ballantine Books following various public appearances Ehrlich had made regarding population issues and their relation to the environment.
