I did say I was going to do another part, wasn't I?
Since I’m doing a double today, I’m going to make it slightly shorter, here goes!
Until next time, stay green.
- 80% of the world’s forests are gone
- 2000 trees a minute are cut down in the Amazon alone. (That is 7 football fields a minute!) (Um, wow, that makes me kind of sick...Damn, I think I ate too many chips)
- 40% of our waterways are undrinkable.
- 75% of fisheries have been fished beyond capacity
- 100,000 synthetic chemicals are used in production today.
- Food with highest level of contaminants is mother’s milk.
- 200,000 people a day are moving to cities from environments that no longer support them.
- Average person consumes twice as much as 50 years ago.
- We see more ads in one year than people 50 years ago saw in a lifetime. 3,000 ads a day! (Well, I don’t watch that much TV, so I’m kind of glad)
- For every one garbage bin, you put out at the curb, 70 bins were filled by all the processes
- 90% of all things that we buy are not in use after 6 months.
Until next time, stay green.
