Life Expectancy

"The primary goal for sustainable development is for people to live longer, more productive, more satisfying lives. This is impossible if they do not have the resources to ensure the health and well being of themselves and their families. Poverty has a major impact on life expectancy. When governments and families cannot afford enough quality health care, education, and nutritious food, people cannot reach their full potential, either in productivity or length and quality of life. In addition, extreme poverty increases the likelihood of war and political instability, which threatens lives--and the quality of life-- as well."

Earth Clock

Stats - as they say, read ‘em and weep. While the figures can’t be taken as absolutely accurate, they are drawn from many sources and do give a ‘best guess’ real time example of some of the issues we’re grappling with (sources include United Nations, EPA and the US Census Bureau).

Worldprocessor

Multiply the number of daily TV deaths by the number of people owning TV sets and subtract that number from the population. Most nations would disappear on a daily basis.
