World's Population Increases From 6 Billion To 7 Billion In Only 12 Years!
Greatest population increases in poorest countries. High income countries have fewer children. Education is the key.

What number are you in the world population?
The populationaction.org website was down when I tried to check it out, but the link is in the article and listed down below! :pacman:
A new web tool allows the user to estimate the human population when they entered the world. The What is your Number? site is being used to highlight how fast the world population is growing. It is also a fun way to compare with family and friends how the population has changed since they were born. Has the population tripled in your lifetime?

Overpopulation Is A Myth - Duggar Family Mom
Ms. Duggar: "I agree with Mother Teresa when she says, 'To say that there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers!'" :up2:
Since when do flowers crap their diapers?!! :dizzy:
And what about people who are allergic to pollen?!! :mad002:
