Thank You! Our advertisers make ClickLife possible!
Almost every aspect of human life is dependent upon nature in one way or another. But what are the true facts about the current environmental situation on Earth?
- 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury can contaminate 20 acres of a lake, making the fish unfit to eat.
- We are consuming the earth's resources 20% faster than they can be sustained.
- If everyone in the world consumed like the average U.S. citizen, we would need at least four more planet Earths.
- One third of the earth's soil is now unfit for growing food, due to deforestation, waste disposal and overuse of fertilizers.
- 30 percent of pesticides sold in developing countries do not meet international health and environmental standards.
- Every ton of recycled paper saves 380 gallons of oil.
- About 1% of U.S. landfill space is full of disposable diapers, which take 500 years to decompose.
