When you have a few moments, check out this important and beautiful video: Global Speak Out, by the Population Media Center. Then come back and take a look at this chart.

World Population, 1800-2100, image from the UN

This chart represents U.N. global population growth projections, with larger families (red) and smaller families (green), relative to current projected family size (orange).

Let’s go green.

If smaller families work together to plan for and invest more in each child, people will enjoy a higher level of well-being and equality, our democracies can begin to truly work, and our communities can come into balance with nature.

The choice is clear.
