60gritbeard: clarajoy: 8226: If the population of the US lived at the density of Brooklyn - not even Manhattan (which is considerably higher) - our nation’s population would fit into a New-Hampshire size footprint! aurashkhawarzad: I read about this a few days ago but I still can’t get over it. The worlds that come to mind after viewing this are silver-bullet and panacea. Nature will revive itself, but only if we give it room to breathe. Living in a densely populated area - such as Brooklyn, not even Manhattan - is what nature needs from us. Ask not what the environment can do for you, but what you can do for the environment. Thanks blog.cartophilia.com.  It’s funny what some people take away from a graphic like this.  I look at it and think, what a socio-economic and infrastructural mess we’re gonna have on our hands when we continue to grow as a nation to 1 billion, 2 billion, 4 billion, 8 billion… etc… because, hell, there’s plenty of room to grow!
