It took us 12 years to grow from 7 to #8Billion. By 2037 we can reach 9 billion people in the world. We need more sustainable #cities and #towns to create a better quality of life and a better future for all.

Happy Thanksgiving! There are 8 billion people running around this planet nowadays, and I genuinely think it's worth being thankful for that -- and for what's ahead.

A brief optimistic meditation on those numbers:

One of the more poignant scenes in #Spielberg A.I. is the would be boy realization that he was just one among many other such machines. The human population just topped #8BILLION. The source of so much of our ills stares us down, and we refuse to see it because it poses difficult, uncomfortable questions. In the interim, we distract ourselves with performative rituals and the Sisyphean labor of band aiding the wounds.

RT from Independent Voices @IndyVoices on the birdy site:

"The issue is a minefield due to past authoritarian crackdowns on women’s fertility in countries such as India and China, and because a minority on the left scream 'eco-fascism' the moment it is mentioned" –

Mastodon grows much more faster than the world population!

With this growth of accounts we will have more user of Mastodon than people on the earth in one and a half year! (Then we will have 600.000 instances.)

We’ve already surpassed 8 BILLION people on Earth. Still, today is the milestone marker to celebrate the occasion, with a young girl born in Manila, Phillippines, dubbed as the “symbolic” eight billionth person.

With so many people roaming the Earth, what does that mean for the climate and the future of humanity?

I was able to snag Jennifer Sciubba, author of “8 Billion and Counting” to talk to The World’s Carol Hills about this. #8billion #demographic #interview

Today the world’s population reaches #8Billion people.

What’s next?

A new blog from PRB and the CREG Center highlights 8 demographic trends we’re watching:

8 Billion People.

I just can’t wrap my head around that. I know, we’re trying to talk about how strong we are and how good we can be to each other, but I keep thinking of the #climatecrisis and #wealthgap and #biodiversityloss and yet we keep making more people. I want to be proud and strong but I think I’m mostly just worried.
