How much do you know about the world around you?

We all know the same story: we need to recycle, use less water, save endangered animals, etc., etc......But, how much do you really know about the world around you? Take a look below!

  • The amount of water on Earth is constant, and continually recycled over time: some of the water you drink will have passed through a dinosaur

  • 40 percent of all bottled water sold in the world is bottled tap water

  • Humans and elephants are the only animals with chins

  • There are more than 1,200 species of bat in the world and not one of them is blind

  • Paper can be recycled only six times. After that, the fibers are too weak to hold together

  • 27,000 trees are cut down each day so we can have Toilet Paper

  • We can save 75,000 trees if we recycled the paper used on the daily run of the New York Times alone

  • When you throw plastic bags and other plastic materials in the ocean, it kills as many as 1 million sea creatures annually
