Newborn Babies and Canadian Population

Canadian population: Did I mention that I am referring to the population of cars, not humans?, according to The Star. The average Canadian household has 1.5 cars including SUVs and pickups . In 2013 Canadians brought home more than 1.7 million little, and not so little, bundles of joy from auto dealerships. By comparison the sum of newborn babies and net immigration was under 600,000. The new arrivals have grown in weight and power over the last few decades and Population control is a sensitive topic, even for environmentalists. Yet its hard to deny the strain of increasing numbers on our climate, natural spaces, and finite resources. Today, the increase in Canadian population is small but Western culture has already had a strong influence on developing countries. If Chinese and Indian households continue to strive for high Western rates of ownership the future prospects for our planet look grim. In 1950, there were about 100 million motor vehicles on the planets roads. Today there are one billion mainly passenger cars . According to Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon in their book Two Billion Cars , by 2030 there will be almost two billion motor vehicles not counting motorcycles and scooters vying for road space.
