http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141016-your-life-on-earth This is terribly humbling. It's a your-life-so-far-in-review.
As of typing,
My heart has beaten 1 billion times in my lifetime
on Earth I am 26, on Neptune I am 0
My next birthday on Neptune is in 50,468 Earth days
I've traveled 130,197,320,205 miles through the Milky Way
When I was 2, the black-faced lion tamarin was discovered.
There have been 126 major volcanic eruptions.
Ocean pH has decreased by 0.05
When I was 11, 157 fish species were listed as critical, now 424 are on the brink of extinction.
"There are virtually no Goliath groupers left in the world."
When I was 17, black rhinos were saved from extinction. There population exceeds 3,000.
Upsetting, fascinating. Reminding me how human I am and how much humanity is to blame for all the good and bad that happens in our world.
I want to bookmark this link and revisit it occasionally.
