Every second

This striking portrait of our world in numbers makes statistics fun and accessible to children and their grown-ups. Every second, somewhere across the globe, an aeroplane takes off and another one lands.

Two people die, and four babies enter the world. 15,000 plastic bottles are produced and 1,600 are recycled. 8,000 scoops of ice cream are eaten, 200,000 text messages are sent.
