Destination Miniature Earth


I'd like to share with you a site I found a few months ago, and found to be very enlightening. The site does not pertain solely to Latinos, but I believe it will be worth your while nonetheless .

The site Miniature Earth features a short film which shows what the world would look like if the planet's population was reduced to just 100 people ( based on UN and other reputable statistics.)

The statistics regarding world poverty are more than a little disconcerting, but you're left with a feeling of great appreciation for what you have, not a bad thing to have.

I wont spoil the film for you, but I'll leave you with just one statistic: If you own a bed, a refrigerator and have a roof over your head, you're richer than 75% of the world's population.

I love this. Everyone should see this. We are all so truly connected in the human experience.

This is an amazing short film. I agree everyone should see it. Pass it on to as many as possible.
