7 billion people and More…..

There have been many people that have walked on this earth in the past and the present. Finding out that 5,986,251,260 people have been born when i was born is a Huge amount of people. From all around the world that todays technology can figure things out like that. Since i was born 569,154,577 people have died. It means that the global population is increasing faster then it is decreasing because more babies are being born then people are dying. Did you know about every second 5 people are born! This means for global resources that it will take more of the resources we have on earth to make sure everyone has what is needed. When 9 billion people will roam the earth i will be 46. I think earth will look totally different because we will have cut down lots of forest. It will also be less resources on earth because we use them so rapidly. My city has increased by 281,421 people from when i was born to now. The reason for this is reproduction its the 1 way to bring new life into the world.
