As I read up and share with you information about our world population, I've never really discussed overpopulation. There's no doubt about it, we're growing at an alarming rate, and this plays a huge part on our ecosystem - the statistics and numbers are astonishing. Earlier, we calculated what number we were in the world's population when we were born, we've looked at statistics as if the world were a village of 100 people, and we've looked at a video explaining how we got big so fast.
With the 7 billionth person born, check out Lapham's Quarterly, A magazine of history and ideas. On their "Future" issue, they laid out a map (above) indicating the "very real" changes the Earth will undergo by the year 2050. It's pretty amazing. Check out these very real changes by clicking on the map.
I have organized my blogs with 3 days worth of postings, so if you wish to continue reading the days before that, and so forth and so forth, you can click the "Older Posts" button /\ /\ /\ right /\ up there.
There are 3 other ways you can find interesting topics to read as well.
*Clicking on any of the links under my "Favorite Categories" section on the left hand side of your screen
*Using the Google Search bar under the scrolling text.
*By choosing a date from the drop down list on the right hand side of your screen.
Hope you enjoy my daily posts, and hope to hear from you soon.

So by then I will be 65 and you will be 78, my love. The planet will be on the way to destruction in one big trash heap, if 2012 goes better than the Mayans expected; there will be no more fishies, cause people like me just love to eat all types of fishies; and overpopulation, as well as Spanish, will be the norm. Sounds like fun. Makes me apprehensive about having children because they deserve to grow up in a world with fish, trees and the English language.
