A Green Road Blog 

 the Center for Biological Diversity launched a new national campaign,7 Billion and Counting, to highlight the devastating effects of the world's exploding human population on wildlife around the globe.

The United Nations predicts that the world population will hit 7 billion by the end of October. There's never been a better moment to speak out about overpopulation, and the Center is the only environmental group making the direct connection to plant and animal species extinction.

Our new website, 7BillionAndCounting.org, will support you in taking action online, offline and in your community. Major pieces of this campaign will include a powerful new video in New York City's Times Square, distribution of 100,000Endangered Species Condoms, an interactive map to find endangered species where you are, and a guide to hosting your own 7 Billion and Counting event.

We're looking for 1,000 volunteers to help us get our free Endangered Species Condoms out in every state across the country. Click here today to enter your current mailing address and contact information so we can get you first in line to distribute this October.

We'll have more campaign updates in the coming months, including more ways you can be involved. If you're on Facebook, our new campaign page is another great way to continue finding out more about our actions.

Thank you for your support.
