Earth

Hello, another thought to share.

4% of Earth's surface is habitable.

Less than half of that is available for growing food.

Again, this is to satisfy almost 7 billion people!


For the Americans out there, consider the following...

The population of the US is about 5% of the world population (about 311,000 people)

US consumes about 25% of the energy on Earth.


Think about it.

Water.

Hello fellows, just wanted to share a thought with you.

Consider the following...**

There are 6,897,273,911 people on the Earth right now, growing every second.

There is only 0.003% of available water for humans to use.

Only 0.003% of Earth's waters to satisfy almost 7 billion people that need around 3 liters (3.5 quarts) of water a day?

Yet, we still dump damaging chemicals and pollutants into our freshwater sources.

Does that seem logical to you?

**Yes, that is a Bill Nye reference. It was partly intentional.
