Third Global Population Speak Out Campaign Launched

The Population Institute announced plans in November for the third annual Global Population Speak Out (GPSO).  The campaign, which will take place during February of 2011, will help to raise public awareness about population growth and its implications for the environment and sustainability. By dedicating every February as a time to speak out publicly about the implications of population growth, GPSO is giving public voice to the private concerns of leading scientists, academicians, and environmental activists.   The first GPSO was organized by John Feeney, an environmental journalist and Colorado activist. In 2010, GPSO recruited over 400 spokespersons from 39 countries.  Between now and the February 2011 launch date, Joe Bish, the campaign’s director, will be recruiting more scientists and academicians to join the effort.
