I really don't think that the world has ever come close to running out of space. Of course, non-renewable resources are a problem that need to be addressed, but it isn't the large families that are making the biggest footprint in that regard.
What bugs me is that people act like a suburban mom with a lot of kids is the enemy of the environmental movement, but the real enemy is Big Business. The collective generational footprint of one big family is a million times smaller than that of some businesses and individuals, even if they do things like use paper towels and disposies, and drive a 15 passanger van.
