Tough little planet we live on<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Those are all acts of God, one may argue, but us humans don\u2019t make it any easier on mother earth. Every year more than 2 million cases of arson\u00a0are reported, and more than a million trees are chopped just to make toothpicks.<\/p>\n

Not all is gloom, however: 200 million couples make love – and 400,000 babies are born<\/a>\u00a0– every day.<\/p>\n
