Up To Speed

The Sierra Club has an interesting compedium of environmentally and politically related stats and factoids from the last two months on its website. Click HERE if you're interested.

In other factoid/stats related matters, here are some interesting tidbits from the August "Harper's Index":
Number of Louisiana towns the porn star Stormy Daniels has visited on her "listening tour" for a possible Senate run: 5

Projected percentage change by 2050 in the amount of mercury in the Pacific Ocean: +33

Estimated number of cars that it takes to produce as much CO2 as a single large cargo ship: 10,000

Projected percentage change in worldwide electricity usage this year: -3.5

Percentage by which moderate Internet surfers are more productive in thier jobs than non-surfers: 9

Estimated percentage of all existing blogs that have not been updated in four months: 94

Don't fear, dear readers, I plan to keep on keeping on with this humble little blog. I am part of the six percent, and I plan to keep you all being productive.
