There´s another side effect,Originally posted by Urban Ranger
By mass/volume or height-width-thickness?
If the former, than we indeed consume only 50% of the resources, but we will only be shortened by the cube root of 2 in height and other dimensions.
If the latter, we will be 1/8 of the current mass.
The side effect of this is people die sooner, because the heart will need to pump faster.
as the brain would also be reduced in size,
there might be a certain loss of intelligence
(not that this would matter much for a large percentage of the human population
)

This idea wouldn't work. More resources available = more reproducing = so in the end smaller, but much more humans.

Re: My Revolutionary Idea to Save the World!
Why is less, less and less good for the economy? I thought the principle of growth for our economies is more, more and more.Originally posted by Seeker
Here it is:
Reduce the size of the human body (for future generations) by 50%!
If we did that, we'd essentially consume 50% less resources.
It is probably not that difficult biologically to stunt growth genetically.
We'd enter a golden age economically and environmentally. Think of it! For a tiny human, a 1 story 2 bedroom house could be renovated to become a 2 story 4 bedroom house, using less surface area and materials. Less food eaten, less clothing, less transportation energy wasted on smaller masses.
We should start with the western countries and end with africa to maximize the beneficial effect.
