The per capita availability of water now stands at 1,250 cubic metres. India is in a precarious situation as water availability is concerned, given that the country in which nearly 17 per cent of the world’s population resides has only 4 per cent of the global freshwater resources. [Source]

How much Carbon Dioxide is emitted in a year?
The six billion people on earth emit 400-450 giga tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. That’s around seven tonnes per capita,” says Nicholas Stern, an economist who authored a path-breaking report on the economics of climate change for the British government earlier this year.
The US has per capita carbon dioxide emissions of around 20 tonnes, the European Union has around 10 tonnes, China has 3.5 tonnes and India has per capita emissions of only one tonne. [Source]

So, in a day an Indian uses (read: consumes) 3.4 cubic metres of water and emits 2.7 Kgs of Carbon Dioxide. (pun intended ;p )

WikiAnswers

1 cubic metre = 1000 litres | 1 tonne = 1000 Kgs = 2200 pounds approx

Wear a helmet, otherwise..

Consider this common example of the marketing process. If the circus is coming to town, and you paint a sign saying, ‘Circus Coming to the Andheri Ground this Saturday‘, that’s advertising. If you put the sign on the back of an elephant and walk it into town, that’s promotion. If the elephant walks through the mayor’s flowerbed, that’s publicity. And if you get the mayor to laugh about it, that’s public relations. If the town’s citizens go to the circus, visit the many entertainment booths, while you explain how much fun they can have at the circus, and ultimately, they splurge money at the booths, that’s sales.

The whole range of activities, ranging from the overall strategy to the closing of the sale? That’s marketing.

Marketing includes a whole gamut of activities – conducting market research to determine what products or services the consumers want, producing a product with the appropriate features and quality, pricing the product accordingly, and then promotion of the product, through promotion tactics, like advertising, public relations, direct marketing, and of course, sales. These tactics make up the marketing mix.
