"All these life forms desire happiness and detest pain and therefore killing harming them is like punishing one's own soul."

Such a consideration of equality and respect for all will negate the anthropocentric attitude and behaviour of human beings. It is the first and formost pre-requisite in ideal yoga.

Optimising population and consumarism :
The pressure and stress on natural resources is directly proportionate to these twin factors. If numbers and consumptions are more than the respective carrying capacities then the natural resources will deteriorate proportionately. The population and consumption levels have to be optimised commensurate with the carrying capacities, resilience and rejuvenation time-cycles of the natural resources. As a principle the interdependence should be symbiotic i.e. for mutual benefit.
What is taken should be compensated. For example in breathing oxygen (02) is taken from the air and carbon-di-oxide (CO2) is exhaled. This CO2 is necessary for plants which with sun's energy and water and nutrition from soil convert or recycle it by process of photo synthesis in various useful products fruits, flowers, fibres, chemicals, medicines etc. and give out oxygen to compensate the inhaled oxygen. But if population is in excess and CO2 exhaled is more than the capacity of plants or if the plants are not in adequate numbers as
