Visualization of How Earth’s Population Reached 7 Billion

I was recently taken aback when I heard the news. 7 Billion. The number kind of snuck up on me. As for what lies beyond the ever growing population and the tremendous risk it puts our species and the planet in - I only have one thing to say: we need to make life multi-planetary. This may sound crazy but it needs to happen. We’ve got way too much riding on one tiny blue planet. It’s not a fantasy. It’s a matter of survival.
