It was a historic day on August 15 when India’s population hit one billion. Worldwatch Institute dubbed it the second member of the “billion club.” “In Balance”, the newsletter of the Center for a New American Dream notes that marketers are gearing up for an orgy. China and India has more “future consumers” (children under 15 years old) than the U.S. total population.
Sometime around the middle of October, the world population will reach the six billion mark.
The Center is hosting a listserv conversation this month on the links between population and consumption. Sign up at:
