I love maps. All sorts of maps. The thing I like about them is they are information at a glance. I like to look at something and get loads from it. I am an apt map reader. There are road maps, the typical geographical world maps, weather maps and then there's THIS map I found while wandering through the World Wide Web.
It's interesting because it maps on how Happy or Unhappy countries are in a generalized way. It also raises something we never think about. Mainly because most of us are too busy to ponder about our ecological footprint. We have to realize that some of the things we are doing have to have some sort of impact on the world. We always think that since we are just one person therefore so minute that our actions couldn't hurt anything. But in essence, 5 million people could be doing that exact action hence creating a 'substantial' action to our ecosystem. The world population is about 6.5 billion people. That's a lot of people. A lot of lights. Damn.
You can take a 'test' to see how you rate with your countries averages. Take the test, it's interesting. Now, I know--it's just another on-line survey. Well, no it's not. It doesn't ask your email addy, your name, or any personal demographic information about you personally. No signing your life away for this mapformation on you.
Well, the weather is hot, so stay cool. I got my air conditioner set at 70. Maps Rock!
