OK. But could population increase contribute to increase in mass?

Southie pretty much said that, but every single cell in our body, once belonged to the planet earth. So as we gain mass as human population, we take the from the earth - when we die, we gonna give our selves back to earth.

But read this.

About 40,000 tons of space dust and rocks, the leftover wreckage of our solar system’s birth, fall to Earth each year. Even though this debris could fill an Olympic-size swimming pool in a single month, it is insignificant compared to the mass of Earth.
