Today, October 31st, 2011, the earth population reached 7 billion. This compares to 2.8 billion in 1955. It is projected to reach 9 billion by 2045. Can the earth take these many people?
Some call it a population bomb.
Every second, 3-5 people are newly born. On November 5th, the population has already reached 7 billion and 1 million. It is scary.
Can the earth supply the food for its population?
One out of every seven people will go to bed hungry every night. It is a cold reality of hunger and poverty.
Most of us who are reading this article do not worry about the hunger. But there are people who are hungry and in poverty. We cannot and should not ignore these people. We should do something to help these people graduate out of the chronic and absolute poverty. - Jeffrey
