human footprints

Let’s hear it for the folks at High Country News. Or, at least for Susan Tweit, who recently had this to say about the human footprint(s) – “There are too many of us. The world’s human population has reached nearly 6.7 billion, twice as many people as there were 50 years ago; we’re adding another million humans about every four days.”

It’s always fun to discover a “mainstream” media outlet willing to acknowledge the bottom line.

And while you’re at it, read the rest of Tweit’s essay. It’s about one of my favorite subjects – roadkill.
