What's 7 Billion Between Friends
The theme is billions this week, it seems. We are due to hit 7 billion people on our little blue planet.
I assume, of course, we have a plan on where to fit all the new arrivals. I'm sure someone or some group is in charge of figuring out how to handle feeding, clothing, and housing another half billion or so.
How many people exactly can live on earth? Are there too many already? Is technology really gonna solve this problem? Can we just continue to let our population grow and grow while simultaneously try to sell everyone on planet earth a cell phone & HDTV?
Seriously, I think the big question is why don't we have a plan? Simple question but the difficult answer will determine our future.
