Earth Clock

I stumbled on this "earth clock" while I was doing research for my internship. The clock gives you the option of viewing statistics pertaining to such issues as world population, malnutrition, deforestation, and garbage production, among others. Statistics are available for different time periods, providing an active count by year, month, week, day, and even allowing you to reset the clock so that all statistics begin at 0 and grow in real time. Regardless of your familiarity with these issues, I think you'll find it shocking to watch the numbers grow right in front of your eyes, understanding that each number is representative of another infection, disaster, extinction, or human life.
