World Population Day

http://www.unfpa.org/wpd/

July 11, 2010

Objective:
World Population Day is an annual event, observed on July 11, which seeks to raise awareness of global population issues.

In 1968, world leaders proclaimed that individuals have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and timing of their children. Forty years later, modern contraception remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of women, men and young people.

World Population Day 2008 reaffirmed the right of people to plan their families. It encouraged activities, events and information that will help make this right real — especially for those who often have the hardest time getting the information and services they need to plan their families, such as marginalized populations and young people.

When people can plan their families, they can plan their lives. They can plan to beat poverty. They can plan on healthier mothers and children. They can plan to gain equality for women. Plan to support World Population Day this year!

bulk of humanity MOVED off-world, so WE can work to RESTORE the garden.

Which is the reason, I BELIEVE that starvation is such a GLOBAL problem! It's MY FIRM belief, that if WE don't do 2 things, then we'll DIE here! FIRSTLY,
