This and That About Neckties

Want to see a really really big number?

How about 6,854,901,988?!

That’s the special number to celebrate World Population Day, which is also known as the World Census Day.  The theme is “everyone counts” (every pun intended), and the day is observed every year on July 11th.

Here in the United States, “counting everyone is an integral part of ensuring that we take everyone into account. Good demographic data is critical for planning schools, health systems and public transportation, for designing policies based on future population projections, for monitoring the effectiveness of service delivery and much more. ” (Source: UNFPA.org)

This People Looking Upward Save the Children brand tie is based on the art of Marc LeBlanc, and I think it is a great tie to showcase for today’s holiday.  Which reminds me, I just created a new Save the Children Necktie page in the Designer Ties category. I love this line of neckwear because all of the ties are based on the art submitted to the company by children.  The name and age of the child as well as the title they give for their artwork is printed on the back.  Kids can really relate to the designs on these ties, and wearing them can encourage them to create their own masterpiece and send it in for consideration!
