Fulfilling our mission in educating Americans about overpopulation's effect on our environment, NPG welcomes visitors to subscribe to our population-news listserve.

The listserve will provide subscribers with population related news on a daily basis. We monitor all of the major news publications, as well as other media sources, and then pass those clips to subscribers. 

Daily message traffic varies according to what is in the news, but on average we distribute between four and eight messages each weekday. 

From press conferences to new reports, NPG Population-News listserve will keep subscribers up to date with the most recent information relating to immigration, population and the environment. 

To subscribe, send an e-mail to majordomo@npg.org with the words subscribe population-news in the body of the message.
