hi guys~~~

Long time no see!!

I missed every one of you a lot!!

How have you been these days??

For a wonderful comeback, I brought the most shocking news I have ever heard of!! Haha

Let's run off and see what those are!! Here you go!!

 

1.        Indoor air can be 100-times more polluted than outdoor air.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside your home may be more than 100 times more polluted than the air outside, due in part to mold growing in the home.  The main sources of indoor air pollution include air purifiers, paint, carpets, cleaning products, cabinets and furniture, and the kitchen stove.   

 

2.     Airlines waste enough soda cans to build dozens of planes.

The U.S. airline industry has been encountering some turbulence over its reluctance to institute recycling programs for trash generated onboard. But here's a fact from the Natural Resource Defense Council that should grab the industry by its profit-centers and force it to take action: U.S. airlines throw away enough aluminum cans every year to build 57 new 747s.

 

3.     We eat more than 650 gallons of water daily.

Projected population growth and the rising wealth of world populations threatens to lead to food shortages, placing unsustainable demands on arable land and water resources unless agricultural methods and our diets change. The World Wildlife Fund says that only 30 percent of the world's arable land remains unfarmed, and that is projected to decrease to only about 6 percent by 2050. Food production demands will also stress the world's freshwater resources. According to the WWF, it currently takes about one liter of fresh water to produce each calorie of food we consume, which translates into 2,500-3,000 liters of water per person per day (about 660-790 gallons).

 

4.    Only 1% of China?s population breathes air that is considered safe.

And, this severe air pollution problem, which has led to cancer becoming China?s leading cause of death, is no longer affecting the Chinese people alone. China?s dirty air is spreading across the globe as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides spewed by the country?s many factories and coal-fired power plants fall as acid rain upon South Korea and Japan. The heavy brown clouds of pollution that hover over Asia are now spreading as far as to the west coast of the U.S. Much of the particulate pollution over Los Angeles originates in China.

5.      Every year, rainforest is lost by about the size of England, Wales and Scotland combined.

More than 50 percent of all living creatures on the earth reside in tropical rainforests, so with rainforest destruction they are disappearing at a rate of 100 species per day. Experts believe that 5 to 10 percent of tropical rainforest species will become extinct by during the next half-century.  They?re also projecting that half of the remaining Amazon rainforest may be destroyed by the year 2030. The World Wildlife Fund concluded that 55 percent of the world?s largest rainforest stands to be severely damaged from agriculture, drought, fire, logging and livestock ranching over the next 22 years.
