2.) Every 20 minutes, the world adds another 3,500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life - at least 27,000 species per year. Which means in five years we lose 135,000 species per year think about what it will be like in 50 years. In my left time and fellow students life times. It’s a scary though.

3.) We are today a world of 6.1 billion people, growing by 78 million

6.) The oil crisis of the late 20th Century will pale in comparison to the water crisis of the 21st Century. The world’s 6.1 billion plus people require water for survival, but 97 percent of the Earth’s water is salt water. Of the remaining three percent, one percent is located in the North Pole; another one percent is in the South Pole. Therefore, all of humanity depends upon one percent of the world’s entire water supply for all of our domestic, agricultural, and industrial needs. That’s a scary thought. Right now can 6 billion people live off one percent of the earth’s water supply?

9.) Consumption of fresh water has doubled since 1960, (but so has population, so per-person usage has not changed) and wood consumption (for household and industry use) is 40% higher than 25 years ago.This is a pretty scary fact. Why are we as humans destroying the world? I know that we can’t help that we need water, food, and shelter, but there is other ways of getting them than destroying the whole world. And also we can control the population by controlling how many children humans have!
