· Or that keeping a horse has the same carbon footprint as a 23,500-kilometre road trip?
· Did you know how many countries use less energy than is consumed globally by downloading porn from the internet?
· Do you know how much of the earth's surface has been concreted over?
· Or how many trees would we have to plant to make our planet carbon-neutral?

At one glance, we can see the precarious state of our planet - but also realise how easy it would be to improve it
