The Earth Status Report

Earth Status report - 2006

If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:


57% Asians
21% Europeans
14% Americans (northern and southern)
8% Africans

52% women
48% men

70% coloured-skins
30% caucasians


89% heterosexuals
11% homosexuals


6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America
80% would have bad living conditions
70% would be uneducated
50% underfed


1 would die
2 would be born

1 would have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education


When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity,
understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following -
This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.




If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world.

If you can enter into a church / mosque without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world.


If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.


If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, who are well-to-do.


So start living & stop worrying, You don't know how lucky you are!
