The folks at
The Center for Biological Diversity have good reason to be concerned about the loss of species. With the Earth
losing half of our wildlife in the last forty years, our arrogant species has taken over most of the available land and resources of our planet and we're not leaving much room or unpolluted food for the other inhabitants. So they are on a
quest to promote that we consciously slow down our breeding and they are even giving us the means to do so.
The Earth’s population now tops 7 billion people. The rapid growth of our human population is pushing other species off the planet in what most scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction crisis. Yet this population explosion is too often ignored by the public, the media and even the environmental movement, while it continues to drive all the major environmental problems that plague our planet — including climate change, habitat loss, ocean acidification and resource depletion.
That’s why the Center for Biological Diversity launched our Endangered Species Condoms project in 2009, and since then has distributed hundreds of thousands of free condoms across the United States. Wrapped in colorful, wildlife-themed packages (with artwork by Roger Peet), Endangered Species Condoms offer a fun, unique way to get people talking about the link between human population growth and the species extinction crisis.
The Center for Biological Diversity's brilliant campaigns are helping people to make the connection between human population growth, their choices and the species extinction crisis. With 227,000 new humans added to our planet each day, this is a crisis which can't be ignored.
The Center for Biological Diversity is all about solutions and so am I. They recognize that we must work on reducing consumption as well as control population, and they have connected the dots between our out-of -control meat consumption with their campaign to Take Species Extinction Off Your Plate.
The Center for Biological Diversity recognizes livestock production as one of the greatest threats to wildlife and the planet. Consistent with our Earth-friendly Diet campaign, which urges people to reduce meat consumption as a critical means of reducing their environmental footprint, it’s the Center’s policy to serve vegetarian-only menus at events where food is provided by the organization.
The
Center has had
success in saving over 500 species! They are definitely a non-profit worth supporting, I do.
