Purpose	Population-Environment Balance, or BALANCE, is a grassroots membership organization committed to stabilizing U.S. population in order to safeguard the carrying capacity of the United States. BALANCE's goals and activities are based on the relationships between population size, quality of life, and environmental impact. We believe that safeguarding the future of the U.S. depends upon achieving a balance between population and environment. After all, practically all of our environmental problems, and other quality of life issues, are to a significant degree caused, or exacerbated, by increasing population pressures. Population-Environment Balance is dedicated to: * Educating the American public and policymakers on the adverse impact of population growth on America's natural and social environment, and * Achieving a national and Congressional commitment to population stabilization.
Immigration position	Population-Environment Balance recognizes that the only way to achieve U.S. population stabilization is to push to enact a zero net immigration moratorium. Thus Population-Environment Balance makes pushing for a 5-year zero immigration moratorium its first priority. This is the most effective way to not only stop all amnesty proposals, but also to gain leverage to get real reductions in legal and illegal immigration.
