I've seen this video before, a long time ago, and came across it again today through Alas. It was inspired by Donella Meadows' writings on sustainability, a subject I was very interested in at one time, before there were multiple wars and an increasingly radical right-wing political movement to keep my attention.
An teaser:
If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this:61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 Americans (from North and South America)
13 Africans
01 Australian (Oceania)50 women
50 men67 are not christian
33 are christian (Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox)
The video goes more in-depth about the breakdown of wealth and education among these 100 people (i.e. 6 people own 59% of the wealth, etc). So, what are you waiting for... CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT.
