According to the United Nations the world's population is projected to pass 7 BILLION on October 31, 2011. National Geographic Magazine as put together a collection of articles exploring what that means for all of us.
Here's their promo video, extremely well put together and eye opening. Give some thought to what you'll see.
You can now download the free 7 Billion iPad app with all the articles, videos and interactive maps and charts from the Apple App Store. You'll be just amazed at the facts they've gathered. I strongly recommend this app. I'm sure it's also available in paper.
"The challenge: How to share and sustain the planet while lifting even more people into a better life."
Following in the same direction as my latest post on accountability,
"How big will the population actually grow? What will the planet look like in 2045 [projected 9 billion]? ... The answers will depend on the decisions each of us makes."
Each of us.
