We are now met with statistics such as the fact that of the estimated 110 billion humans who have ever lived around 6% of these are alive today.In 1900 the world's population was around 1.6 billion, while today it is not far off the 7 billion mark, putting an enormous demand on the planet's natural resources and causing more pollution then in the past.
