NPG is a national non-profit membership organization founded in 1972. Its primary purpose is to educate the American public and elected officials regarding the damaging effects of overpopulation on our nation’s environment, resources, and quality of life. NPG advocates a smaller, truly sustainable United States population accomplished through smaller families and lower, more traditional immigration levels.
Their goal is to slow, halt, and eventually reverse U.S. population growth – eventually stabilizing at a size that is sustainable over the long term. The optimal population of approximately 150-200 million people (our nation’s size in 1970, which scientists agree was sustainable for our resources) will allow us to protect our fragile ecosystems, conserve our finite resources, and ensure a livable America for future generations.
(To read a detailed explanation of NPG’s solutions, read Proposed National Population Policy or Our Vision.)

I agree with their efforts. I think the US would be a better if country if we slowly reduce our population. And the world would be much improved with a lower population.
I am a little surprised that people who purport to be environmentalists are not strongly supporting this effort.
