If the Earth were a Small Village, what would the stats look like?

The following YouTube video shows, in perfect clarity, the massive differences between the world's richest and the world's poorest. And the numbers following the world's religions. And the numbers going hungry. And the numbers connected to the internet. And the numbers who are educated.

YOU 

If you are reading this page right now then you are in at least the top 3% of people on Earth who are in a position to do something about the Village Numbers you'll see on this short video.

But then, if the whole 3% decided to do nothing.....

Well. Nothing would change. The next 50 years would turn out pretty much like the last 50.

So if you are reading this right now, and I know you are(!), then do something today differently to what you did yesterday.

I never ask for anything without saying please... so please. Just watch the video and go from there.

Miniature Earth 

Turn your speakers up. It's worth it.

If there were only 100 people living on Earth, and the same proportions remained as they are currently, what would the Village Earth be like?
