On Eath day, I though I'll share some interesting facts...

  • 11 of the last 12 years have been the warmest since 1850!
  • 2005 was the hottest year in over a century, with freak weather patterns all over the world – it snowed in Dubai for the first time and grass was seen growing in Antractica!
  • The United States alone consumes 1,176,000 gallons of oil every two minutes!
  • The Arctic has lost 20% of its ice – that is double the size of Texas!
  • For each person who stops using toilet paper, 400 trees are saved.
  • Over 30 million plastic mineral water bottles are produced annually, of which only 12% are recycled. And it takes about 40 litres of water to produce a 1 litre plastic water bottle.
