Earth at 7 billion People

Earth crossed 7 billion in population on the October 31st, 2011, and growingquickly. We have had a massive impact ont he environment. Here is an amazinginfographic with amazing statistics on the same!

Estimates put the planet at 8 billion in another 14 years,which is an eye blink compared to the 123 years it took us to go from 1 billionto 2 billion.India is set to surpass China as the world's most populous by2030.That means a weighty impact on our planet. How weighty? Ourfriends at Masters Degree Online did the math and found that we humans accountfor just .00018% of the earth's biomass, yet we use 20% of itsresources.

And before you start arguing that our weight demands that kindof use, the data shows we humans collectively tip the scales at 350 milliontons, while the lowly ants would crush us with their 3 billion collective tons.
