Tough little planet we live on

On any day on earth there are on average 35 earthquakes and some 44,000 storms. Lightning strikes the earth 100 times every second.

Those are all acts of God, one may argue, but us humans don’t make it any easier on mother earth. Every year more than 2 million cases of arson are reported, and more than a million trees are chopped just to make toothpicks.

Not all is gloom, however: 200 million couples make love – and 400,000 babies are born – every day.
