# Interactive Eco Awareness BreathingEarth By Bianca | Published 2008-01-23 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathingearth References: [breathingearth.net](http://www.breathingearth.net/) Using an outline of a world map, BreathingEarth shows graphic illustrations to bring awareness to environmental issues. At the bottom of the atlas is a counter that is constantly updated with numbers representing number of births since the site goer entered the page, deaths, and, the most shocking statistic of all, how may tonnes of CO2 have been emitted in that amount of time. In the 25 seconds I looked at the site, 602 were born, 243 died and 101,000 tonne of CO2 were emitted. Moving the cursor over certain regions of the globe gives more specific facts. **United States** Population: 299,102,661 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every 5.4 seconds 1 person dies every 12.8 seconds 1 person is born every 7.5 seconds **Canada** Population: 32,601,360 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every minute 1 person dies every 2.1 minutes 1 person is born every 1.5 minutes **UK** Population: 59,834,300 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every 58 seconds 1 person dies every 51.8 seconds 1 person is born every 48.9 seconds **Germany** Population: 82,438,000 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every 39.2 seconds 1 person dies every 36.3 seconds 1 person is born every 46.4 seconds **China** Population: 1,315,844,000 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every 9.2 seconds 1 person dies every 3.5 seconds 1 person is born every 1.8 seconds **India** Population: 1,103,371,000 1000 tonnes of CO2 emitted every 25.8 seconds 1 person dies every 3.5 seconds 1 person is born every 1.3 seconds ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Environmental Awareness Visualization:** BreathingEarth uses interactive visualizations to increase environmental awareness. - **Real-time Data Display:** BreathingEarth displays real-time data on CO2 emissions, births and deaths in an interactive and engaging way. - **Global Population Analytics:** BreathingEarth provides population data and CO2 emission information for different regions around the world. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Environmentalism:** BreathingEarth is a tool for environmental organizations to raise awareness. - **Education:** BreathingEarth is a tool for educators to teach students about environmental issues, geography and data analytics. - **Data Visualization:** BreathingEarth can be used as an example of a successful data visualization platform for a tech company to develop and market interactive data displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carbon Footprint Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbongauge.md) - [Provocative Eco Screensavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planetsaving-screen-savers.md) - [To-Scale Interactive Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-size-of-countries.md) - [Trackable Web Emissions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-status.md) - [Real-Time Emotion Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-mood-ring.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md) - [Environment-Sensing Home Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livegrid-digital-canvas.md) - [Multi-Sensory Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadia-earth-toronto-benjamin-von-wong.md) - [Workflow Integrated Breathing Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-breathing.md)
