More People Have Cell Phones Than Toilets


I'm not sure where the UN gets these statistics but, if they are correct, this is just sad.
Of the world’s seven billion people, six billion have mobile phones. However, only 4.5 billion have access to toilets or latrines – meaning that 2.5 billion people, mostly in rural areas, do not have proper sanitation. In addition, 1.1 billion people still defecate in the open.
