Every year the world continues to get more and more crowded.
The power and food needs of the world continue to place a greater strain on our ability to meet them, and resources in general are becoming harder to come by.
Today (July 11) is World Population Day.
World Population Day comes along each year to remind us that our present rate of population growth is unsustainable, and the present social and logistical issues we are experiencing to meet the demand of that population will only get worse if we don’t do something.
This day reminds us that we are part of an ever growing world, and that we need to ensure there is a great future ahead for all of us.
Not sure how to celebrate World Population Day?
Not to start off too personal, but the first thing you can do is make sure that your own family planning schedule is properly taken care of.
So many places in the world see an uncontrolled growth in population due to a lack of access of proper preventative measures and poor maternal health monitoring.
If you are lucky enough not to be in those areas, be sure you are taking advantage of your privileges.
While you are at it, see what you can do to support those areas that don’t have access to these materials, and educate yourself on what we can do to help make the world a better place for all of us.
