How the U.S. can help save the world

We, as a human race, are facing a growing population crisis. With worldwide populations growing exponentially, something has to be done. The U.S. can, and should, make efforts to start curbing population growth. First, all Americans should be educated on this issue and urged to consider having less children. The same should be done in all established, developed countries. However, aiding developing countries in this matter will be trickier. In these countries, the people's very way of life only adds to the world's population: mothers are urged to have as many children as possible, as more of them will die before reaching adulthood than children in developed countries. This is due to poor medical care, little to no education on contraceptives/population growth, and a much larger percentage of people living in poverty with no way to escape. To aid these countries, the U.S. must set the precedant in removing oppressive governments and pumping money into health services, so less children are expected and citizens may live happier lives, and have the chance to "work" thier way out of abject poverty. It will take decades, but if these changes are enacted soon, we will see most countries possessing roughly equal wealth.
