G Magazine's monthly G Figures
I have decided to set up this lens basically to publish the monthly G Magazine G Figures.
Every month the guys at G magazine publish some figures in their magazine pertaining to environmental issues, either good or bad.
I feel I should extend my gratitude to the people at G Magazine for this information.

G Figures - September/October 2009
2,000 is the worldwide population of the endangered Ganges River dolphin, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
$1,000 is the amount half of the respondents in an Australian household energy survey would spend to cut their energy bill by one third.
12km long, 30m wide is the size of a corridor cleared through the Toolangi State Forest in Victoria for the controversial pipeline project, negatively impacting four flora and fauna protection zones. (boo hiss!)
One in three surveyed Australians believe carbon offsetting helps reduce global warming.
32% of open-ocean sharks and rays are in danger of extinction.
75 million is the number of Asia-Pacific environmental refugees expected to flee climate woes in the next 40 years.

G Figures - July/August 2009
$10,000 is the size of the Australian government's 'green loans' being offered, starting this month, to approved Aussie home owners.
51% of people surveyed for the annual Eye on Australia report said 'drought and water issues' were what troubled them most out of our nation's problems.
1 megawatt is the capacity of a new solar power station to be built at Ilparpa in the Northern Territory
Five out of six Australians do not believe society as a whole is doing enough to conserve energy, according to a new report.
78,000 reams is the estimated amount of paper saved for every one million people switching to online billing
2011 is the year that the introduction of Australia's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme has been pushed back to.

G Figures - May/June 2009
62% of Australians rate sustainability as on of the most important issues facing the nation today, according to a recent survey of Newspoil and AMR Interactive.
$2.6 billion is the yearly cost to the health of Australians from black coal, brown coal and natural gas power, reported by the Australian Academy of Technology Sciences and Engineering.
300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide are expected to result form the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and Vancouver, Canada. Organisers are negotiating a sponsorship with carbon offset companies to negate the CO2.
$67 billion will be the estimated value of sales from certified organic products in two years time, according to the UN.
37% of the steady decline in the world's rainfall can be attributed to global warming, according to a Melbourne University Researcher.
4 terra-watts of electricity is the anticipated energy saving as Australia phases out incandescent light bulbs in favour of energy-efficient compact fluorescent or halogen bulbs.
This amount is equivalent to the decommissioning of an entire coal-fired power station - saving up to four millions tonnes of CO2 emissions and $400 million a year.
