Statistics:

- Thats in 40 years there will be 2 billion more people on Earth.

- It takes between 200 and 1,000 years to renew 2.5cm of soil.

These both surprised me. It was very interesting that it takes so long to renew such a small amount of soil. Soil is something you don't think about running out of so I was amazed that it had become an issue. What also surprised me was the population of Earth growing by 2 billion people in the next 40 years. The Earth is already somewhat over populated so to think that 2 billion more people will be added to our population is a scary thought. Will that mean that the majority of the world will be poor or living in poverty?
