2.  The three densest cities in the world are all in the Philippines.  All have at least 90,000 people per square mile.  Manhattan is the densest area in the U.S. and has around 71,000 people per square mile.

3.  Your dog causes twice as much pollution as an SUV.  That's based on the energy it takes to produce enough food to feed a dog in its lifetime.
