  • Sixty percent: the decrease in developmental troubles in kids in China who were born after a coal-burning power station closed down in 2006.
  • Thirty-five percent: the number of coal's energy that's really changed over to electrical energy in a coal-burning power station. The additional two-thirds are lost to heat.
  • 2.5 is the percentage of individuals' CO2 emissions developed by aviation travel at present, still making it the greatest transportation associated greenhouse emission.
  • Five is the percentage of the global CO2 emissions carried to be produced by aviation by the year 2050.
  • 1.5 acres is the number of rainforests doomed every second to land development and deforestation, with enormous losings to the habitat and biodiversity.
  • 137 is the measure of plant, animal and insect species lost each day to rainforest deforestation, equalizing to approximately 50,000 species a year.
  • Four pounds, six ounces: the number of cosmetics that could be immersed by the skin of a adult female who puts on makeup each day, across the period of time of a year.
