The Miniature Earth Project 2010



If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this...


61 Asians
12 Europeans
08 North Americans
05 South America and the Caribbean
13 Africans
01 Oceania
50 women
50 men
47 lives in urban area
12 are disabled
33 are Christian (Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Anglicans and other Christians)
21 are Muslims
13 are Hindus
06 are Buddhists
01 Sikhs
01 Jews
11 are non-religious
11 practice other religions
03 Atheists
43 live without basic sanitation
18 live without an improved water source
20 people own 75% of the entire world income
14 are hungry or malnourished
12 can't read
Only 12 have a computer
Only 8 have an internet connection
01 adult, aged 15-49, has HIV/AIDS


The village spend US$1.24 trillion on military expenditures UN and only US$ 100 billion on development aid


If you keep your food in a refrigerator
And your clothes in a closet
If you have a roof over your head
And have a bed to sleep in
You are richer than 75% of the entire world population


21 people live on US$ 1.25 per day or less


Appreciate what you have
And do your best for a better world!
