we belong to the 10% richest in the world and we cause 50% of the environmental damage. In the first 100 years, hardly anything changed on this planet.. The Earth took it. But then, with a slow response, the nature the Earth is changing.
Biodiversity
70% of all wildlife on earth has gone
Man and farm animals represent 94% of all mammals
Life at sea
50% of life in the oceans has gone
An estimated 80% of the fish has gone in 50 years
Since 50 years plankton is dying 1% per year
The Earth
In 1900-1930 the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere rose 0,22 degrees Celsius each year, but now it rises about 0,33 degrees Celsius per year.
In the current pace, the earth’s temperature will have been risen 4 degrees Celsius in 2100. Not 1,5 degrees. The sea level will be risen 1,5 meters.
Pollution
A long food way short: Every man eats plastic that equals the weight of one credit card per week.
My number
Statistically I would become 84 years old. So I got 20 years to live with less, value what I have, and go down with my consumption. 20 whole years to impove the world.
What is your number?
