I just stumbled across this interesting facts about the earth and I think it shall worth a read. BreathingEarth tells us about the CO2 emission, birth and death rate of human on Earth by country.
In Malaysia, every 55.6 seconds, a new life is born and every 4.1 minutes a person dies. 1000 tonnes of CO2 is emitted every 3 minutes.
I accidentally came across the facts of Spain. The birth rate and the death rate are exactly the same which is 1.3 minutes each.
The country that releases the most CO2 is United States of America which is every 1000 tonnes of CO2 per 5.3 seconds, second by China at 6.4 seconds. Wow… terrific… I think if we do not reduce carbon emission promptly, disasters are ahead of us soon.

The stats of the Malaysian Earth Hour is on the official website.
What’s the best thing to enjoy during this one hour interval? STARGAZING! Absolutely! This will be the best time to enjoy the night sky with minimal light pollution. Have fun!
