6 Earth Day DID YOU KNOWS?
Today being Earth Day, we thought it might be a good time to explore some interesting perspectives about this planet we call home...
2. We are full of (not hot) air: If you could separate the Earth out into piles of material, 32.1 % is iron, 30.1% oxygen, 15.1% silicon, and 13.9% magnesium. Most of this iron is actually located at the core of the Earth. If you could actually get down and sample the core, it would be 88% iron. And if you sampled the Earth’s crust, you’d find that 47% of it is ......oxygen.
3. We are wired to explore other living options: On average the US spends around $20 billion on outer space exploration. Yes with all the living options here on earth, we continue to look for better elsewhere!
We don't know about you but we think this earth of ours is quite magnificent. Most of that which we want is here already right under our noses. Like all real estate, our earth needs to be celebrated, nurtured, protected, maintained, and respected. We all have a role to play in this as we are all beneficiaries. We can EASILY co-exist with our planet with a little bit of effort. And thrive.
