The world population will reach 8 billion in late 2022, or early 2023.
8 billion people!
There’s are more people alive today than the total number of people who have lived and already died.
I’m reminded of this scene from The Matrix:
‘We’ need to figure out how to sustain ourselves and our planet. While we worry about the coronavirus that is locking us down, we also need to figure out how we can be less like a virus and more like a mammal cohabitating with all the other living organisms on this planet.
The trick is, ‘we’ includes 8 billion people in 195 countries. A virus has a singular purpose: to spread its genes through infecting more hosts, humans are a bit more complex than that. Complex, complicated, and carelessly destroying our planet.
8 billion people.
8 billion different perspectives. 8 billion different realities. One planet.
