Hashtagging World Population Day

Wikimedia

We welcome you to World Population Day! 

And you, and you, and you…  you get the idea here. 

Earth is home to an estimated 7.2 Billion people, and today (July 11) is the day several organizations want people to consider the impacts. 

Those organizations include the Center for Biological Diversity,which encourages people to post pictures of the impacts online with the hashtag #CrowdedPlanet.  

If you are not a social media user, you can still send pictures to crowdedplanet@biologicaldiversity.org.
