Fewer people on this planet will be a huge step in the right direction.

As the population numbers go down, automation and artificial intelligence will likely fill the void. Immigrants will soften the decline as automation and AI rise. People should be able to live better lives with fewer people forced to do menial work. In the meanwhile, the environment will improve without so many humans gobbling up resources. A diversity of animals and plants will fill the open spaces.Yes, I'm being a bit utopian here, but less humans on this Earth is absolutely a step in the right direction.
