![]() Here's a sobering thought for New Year's Eve: The German Foundation for World Population -- a nonprofit working internationally to reduce poverty by stabilizing population growth through universal access to birth control -- says the world's human population stands at 6.9 billion on the eve of the new year and will hit 7 billion sometime in 2011.
We humans need to think carefully about how we're going to make 2011 the year we turned the corner on the devastating impacts that human overpopulation and overconsumption have on endangered plants and animals. So when you make your next New Year's Resolutions to go green(er), keep in mind we're sharing this planet!!
