Skip around! Jump for joy! Be amazed! We, the people of the Earth have finally managed to dump 6.5 billion of us on this poor place as of today. It’s pretty scary really, since it just seemed like yesterday that we were a mere 6 billion.
It makes my mention of the 62 year old new mother even more poignant as there is really and truly no effing reason for people this age to be having children with our new population total.
How will the planet hold this many people? Many say it won’t be able to. I honestly think it can if Americans stop buying new cars every two years, new cell phones each year, new clothes every month, and for the love of god, stop eating fast food and cereal that comes in a bowl with a spoon you throw away! Our waste in this country needs to come to an end. If and only if that will happen, then we might even fit 10 billion on poor old Mother Earth. Of course, we’d need to stop GMO foods as well, but that’s another problem.
