Do you recycle?

[CessnaDriver]

Population will stabalize at some point.

I've never heard the 40 billion number before.

Wiki's entry for what it's worth.


"The world population has experienced continuous growth since the end of the Black Death around the year 1400;[3] the highest rates of growth—increases above 1.8% per year—were seen briefly during the 1950s, then for a longer period during the 1960s and 1970s. The growth rate peaked at 2.2% in 1963, and declined to 1.10% by 2009. Annual births have reduced to 134 million since their peak at 163 million in the late 1990s, and are expected to remain constant, while deaths number 57 million per year and are expected to increase to 90 million per year by 2050. Current projections show a steady decline in the population growth rate, with the population expected to peak at around 9 billion between the year 2040[4][5] and 2050.[1]"



Who can know for sure?

i say if there is too many people then we should start genocide. We can start with men who where "manly" skirts. After that lets see how things go.

Same here Eric.

TBH it's not like I bregrudge doing the recycling, but the agents I have issue with. On collection day anyone can walk past and dump stuff in your bin, yet you can get the fine.
