Saturday, July 11th is World Population Day. This year's issue is "Vulnerable Populations in Emergencies." Some 60 million people are in this category according to the UN's latest figures.
With Global warming and climate conditions we're seeing the effects of high heat in India and drought conditions in California. Wild fires in Canada have even caused a haze here in Wisconsin over the 4th. Flooding in the Midwest and South have also claimed lives and caused much damage.
There are many ways to support those working in all the related areas of these emergency situations. Yet, consider the cause of some of this and the simple way to reduce the problems may well exist in conservation. Earth Overshoot Day is August 13th this year. Last year it was August 19th! We lost another 6 days of resources! We're using up the earth faster and faster. Nature will right itself if we just sit back and do little.This action will lead to more and more of the world's population exposed to emergency aid.
Think about it. Reuse, recycle and restore.
