The problem with a lot of population control to save the environment is people want focus on third world countries. Somebody living in a hut with no electricity and mostly eating plants isn't the problem. Most of the environmental damage is coming from "developed" national. A child watching netflix while surfing instagram on their phone and eating microwaved chicken nuggets is going to a lot more damage. But even then public use isn't even the problem. In 2012 only about 10.6% of America's total energy use was residential. So I don't think even killing 1/3rd the population is going to fix the problem.

Also huge rocks would royally gently caress up the ecosystem. Talking huge shock waves. Massive dust clouds. Debris everywhere. Basically a nuke without the radiation.

I would take the approach of tainting a luxury item. Maybe high end alcohols. America already has a history of putting poison in alcohol, without telling anyone, and killing its own people.
