 Feeling the momentum of loss at the beginning of a new Century, one wants to close one's eyes. Yet that is the very thing that will bring forth ruin. I beleive in rain, in odd miracles, in the intelligence that allows terns and swallows to find their way across the planet. And I believe that we are capable of creating a remarkable future for mankind.

Paul Hawken, from "5 Signs of the Coming Revolution"

 

100 PEOPLE IN A GLOBAL VILLAGE:

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the FOLLOWING:

THERE WOULD BE:

57 Asians 21 Europeans

14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south

8 Africans

ï

52 would be female

48 would be male

70 would be non-white

30 would be white

ï

70 would be non-Christian

30 would be Christian

ï

89 would be heterosexual

11 would be homosexual

ï

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education

1 would own a computer

"When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for both acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent."  Donella Meadows, former Professor at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire
