Dashboard Earth

Some years back, while working for one of the "Big Green" environmental organizations, I made an internet "Dashboard" for Earth showing spinning counters for human population growth (U.S. and world), soil loss, coal and oil consumption, forest loss, etc.

The internet being what it is, this idea has not only been improved upon, but made transferable and is now being given away for free. Check out "Poonwaddle" and load your own counters on to your own blog or web site.

Click on the "Now" button at the top of the counter below, and you will see human population growth, resource use, and some health care data in more-or-less real time since you clicked on the button.

To see a larger view of the counter below, click here.
