I have been way slow in posting this week, it's been a busy week around here. Last night we sat down to watch a movie and one of the "previews" was this commercial from thetruth.com. The part where the sign is being held up that says "Tobacco kills 1200 a day", just really got me thinking. If that many a day die from Tobacco, how many die per day? How many are born per day? It just seemed like a really high number. I never pay attention to population counts.
So off to Google I go. I came across the U.S. POPClock Projection. Wow! I really had no idea what the population was. At the time of this writing (Saturday, Aug 23, 1:17pm EST), the population is about 304,950,469. No doubt when you read it, it's going to be higher. By the time I hit the publish button, it'll be higher. Approximately one birth every 7 seconds. Approximately one death every 14 seconds. I'm getting about 12,300 babies born every DAY. Basically for every one death, there are two births.
That's a lot of little ones. That's why we need to reduce, reuse, recycle and take care of our planet. We need to leave a better Earth and some natural resources for all those that are coming up behind us.
Just some random thoughts and realizations today. ;0) Look for your normal scheduled Vinegar Uses and Recipes next week!
