8 Billion: 8 Actions
Our world population has now reached another milestone: 8 billion. From now on, it’s #8billionAndCounting.
Population Matters is one of the world’s leading organisations campaigning to address unsustainable population. Many charities won’t talk about it, many politicians won’t address it and many people don’t understand it. We have much to do. With your help we can achieve more.
Here are eight things you can do today.
- Understand the issues: read and share our Mythbusting page.
- Take action: take one or more of our current campaign actions.
- Dress to impress: Buy one of our ‘8 billion and counting’ t-shirts, with two designs to choose from.
- Raise funds: run, walk,swim or cycle 8km for Population Matters
