More than 50% of the world population growth between now and 2050 is expected to occur in Africa.  Africa has the most significant rate of population increase among other continents.

The population of Sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to double by 2050. Africa to move the world's population towards 10 billion by 2050.

Nowadays, Sub-Saharan Africa is the youngest region globally, where 46 percent of the population is under age 15.

Angola and Benin are forecasted to rise by at least 150 percent of their contemporary population between 2020 and 2050, while Niger's population is supposed to increase by about 175 percent.

Nigeria's population is set to double to more than 400 million by 2050 when it has overtaken the United States as the world's 3rd most populous nation.

Reasons for a predicted doubling in population in Sub-Saharan countries include enhanced quality of life combined with no immediate drop in birth rates.

38 nations, including Armenia, Germany, and South Korea, are forecasted to have a smaller population in 2050 than in 2020.

How Long Does Plastic Take to Decompose?

  Plastic: the unwelcome house guest at nearly every corner of our lives — from shopping bags to footwear, coffee cups to car parts. And yet, discarded, plastic doesn't just evaporate into thin air. No, it lingers. For decades. Even centuries. According to statistics presented by Visual Capitalist , plastic daily consumer goods can break down between 20 and 600 years, depending on the composition used, how they were created, and natural elements like water and sunlight they are exposed to. Let's go deeper into why plastic takes so long to break down — and what horrid messes it leaves behind in the process. Why Plastic Isn't "Natural" — and Why That's a Problem Plastic does not naturally exist. It's a product made from petroleum and natural gas. Its long, tough carbon bonds differ from anything naturally found in ecosystems, making it extremely resistant to microbial breakdown. When we toss a plastic bottle or bag away, it's not a matter of if it will s...

Fallingwater: Where Architecture Meets the Wild

 Located in southwestern Pennsylvania's woods, Fallingwater is not a house, but a powerful conversation between nature and architecture. Completed in 1935 by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmanns, it's one of the only buildings that truly does seem alive—as if it grew directly out of the rock. What is so revolutionary about Fallingwater isn't its appearance—it's Wright's philosophy of organic architecture: the idea that houses are there to harmonize with nature, not dominate it. The house was actually constructed into the land, resting directly above a waterfall on Bear Run. Instead of looking out over the waterfall, Wright built the waterfall into the house, and the sound of running water is therefore a constant companion. Crafted From the Land, For the Land The materials used to build Fallingwater tell their own story. The stone was quarried on-site. Local craftsmen helped shape every contour. The horizontal lines of the cantilevered terraces echo the layered rock...
