Environment Facts

The environment is the sum total of what is around something or

someone, which includes living things and natural forces. The

environment of living things provides conditions for development

and growth as well as of danger and damage.

Amazing Environmental Facts and Man-made Damages

★ The Earth has been around for 4.6 billion years, but in the past 100

years, people have caused a great deal of damage. We have

destroyed 80% of the Earth’s forest and 40% of the Earth’s tropical

rainforests.

★ Every day, 50 to 100 species of plants and animals become extinct

as their habitat is impacted by human activities.

★ Through this impact, deserts are encroaching the once fertile land.

This is because climate changes bring droughts, buildings replace

ecosystems and deforestation destroys habitats.

Environment Facts

★ An average American creates 4.5 pounds of garbage per day. That

amount has doubled from 30 years ago.

★ Over 100 pesticide ingredients are suspected of causing birth

defects, cancer and gene mutation. These cause trillions of dollars

in healthcare around the world.

★ The U.S. burns 10,000 gallons of gasoline a second. Burning one

gallon of gas creates 22 pounds of carbon dioxide. That equals

220,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per second. Human and animal

life cannot breathe carbon dioxide. Oxygen is needed for these

life-forms to exist.

★ The United States has 5% of the world’s population yet produces

30% of the world’s waste.

★ Chemicals used at home amount to 10 times more per acre than in

farming.

★ In order for humans to have toilet paper, 27,000 trees are cut down

every single day. Approximately, 100 acres of rainforests are cut

down per minute mostly to clear the land for beef production.

★ A glass bottle requires 4,000 years to decompose.

★ More than 700 million people around the world do not have access

to clean water because of pollution and sanitation problems.

★ More than 27% of the world’s coral reefs have been destroyed by

pollution and climate change. They are essential ecosystems and

nurseries that support 25% of marine life.

★ According to scientists, the primary causes of variations in climate

are man-made, including excessive greenhouse gas emissions from

cars, industry and meat production.

Environment Facts

★ In the United States, many natural disasters have involved flooding

followed by wildfires.

★ In 2012, severe catastrophes worldwide included droughts, storms,

earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, hail storms, wildfires and

hurricanes.

★ Earthquakes set in motion other natural disasters like tsunami,

landslides and avalanches which damage or destroy man-made

structures.

★ Increasing tropical storms or hurricanes can release 2.4 trillion

gallons of water per day and can cause severe flooding and storm

surges.

★ In 1962, a huge avalanche at the Huascaran Peak in the Andes

Mountains killed over 4 000 people.

★ A 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered one of the most devastating

tsunamis in history that killed over 226,000 people in Indonesia,

Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives on December 26, 2004.

★ In 1934, Americans experienced famine and drought when the

Great Plains became a Dust Bowl.

The Environment and Natural Disasters

★ Greenhouse gases include methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor,

which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Without them, the Earth

would be too cold to support life.

★ Among the effects of excessive greenhouse gases is global warming.

Due to global warming, average sea levels are expected to rise from

1 to 6 feet before the century ends. Moreover, glaciers are melting

along with ice sheets in the Antarctic.

★ Due to El Niño and climate change, about 12% of the world’s coral

reefs are bleached.

Environment Facts

★ In most developing countries, supermarkets have banned the use

plastic bags.

★ An estimated 250 million trees can be save each year if every

published newspaper is recycled.

★ In order to slow or prevent the extinction of further animal species,

private and public organizations are establishing programs to

protect their numbers and habitat.

★ Through recycling and composting of waste, approximately 181

million metric tons of carbon dioxide was eliminated in 2014.

★ Expansion of wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy are

encouraged in many countries and gaining popularity because

they’re renewable and create less CO2 than fossil fuels.

★ About 88,000 jobs were created in 2015 through the wind power

sector.

★ Simple things like biking and walking instead of riding a car can

reduce greenhouse gases.

★ Composting makes a significant difference to lessening the burden

on landfills, which emit significant quantities of methane.

★ Small changes can reduce the energy demands of a home, such as

LED lights, using average thermostats, and changing to energy

efficient appliances.
