World Environment Day Today.
Here are some interesting facts about our Mother Nature-
1. Soil is the planet's most biodiverse habitat
Almost 60% of all species live in Earth's soil, making land the most biodiverse habitat, not oceans.
2. Topsoil creation is painfully slow
It takes 1,000 years to generate just 3 cm of topsoil, yet every 5 seconds, we lose a football pitch-sized amount to erosion.
3. Freshwater is incredibly rare
Only 0.5% of Earth's water is usable freshwater, despite 70% of the planet being water-covered.
4. The Sahara isn't lifeless
Despite its reputation, the Sahara Desert houses 500 plant species, 70 mammal species, 100 reptiles, and 90 bird species.
5. Microplastics outnumber galaxy stars
Microplastics in the seas now outnumber all stars in our galaxy, and each person consumes 50,000+ plastic particles yearly.
6. Urban trees are natural AC
Trees in cities can cool the air by up to 5ยฐC, reducing air-conditioning needs by ~25%.
7. Plastic waste = 2,200 Eiffel Towers
Every year, 11 million tonnes of plastic enter oceans, equivalent to the weight of 2,200 Eiffel Towers dumped annually.
