Idiots... The problem is over population, not cars.

How do you get third world countries to practice birth control?

Send the girls to secondary school. There's nothing like getting women
through a high school education to get the birth rate down, though
even completing only primary school education does help.

It does help if some Baptist idiot in some first world country doesn't
try to gut the sex education lessons by bribing people to put more
emphasis on abstinence and less on more effective methods of birth
control.
