Among the myriad articles and commentary covering the seven billion landmark in world population, online environmental magazine Grist came up with a different approach: an illustrated web comic. In a very straight-forward manner, the six-page comic covers a variety of topics, including population growth in developing countries, the challenges and successes of family planning, and what slowing population growth can mean for everyone. The comic also provides helpful suggestions on what each of us can do to increase public awareness and support.
