8 Billion Humans

K12Science Podcast:  8 Billion Humans

I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of “Science Scope” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read the “From the Editor’s Desk” column, written by Patty McGinnis.  She wrote an article entitled, “8 Billion and Counting.” 

Human population is increasing rapidly.  More humans on the planet equates to more stress on the planet and its resources.
