The correct answer is option 3, which states that statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

Statement 1 is correct because ecoradicals believe that human societies are moving dangerously closer to the limits of the earth`s carrying capacity. This means that they believe human activities are putting a strain on the earth`s resources and environment.

Statement 2 is correct because ecoradicals call for strict population control. They believe that overpopulation contributes to the depletion of resources and the degradation of the environment.

Statement 3 is correct because ecoradicals stress the need for a less consumption-oriented and waste-producing way of life. They advocate for sustainable practices that reduce consumption and waste, such as recycling, conserving energy, and using renewable resources.

These beliefs and values are central to the ecoradical ideology, which combines environmental activism with radical political and social change. Ecoradicals seek to address the environmental crisis through systemic change, challenging the current economic and political systems that prioritize growth and exploitation of resources.
