Re:Show HN: Just One Earth – Bite sized climate existentialism

My friends and I are creating new, bite-sized, interactive ways to visualize the impact we have as a species, and we were shocked by how much of a difference it makes to actually see the data in a concrete, tangible way vs. just reading the numbers. We have three so far:
1) Killed for Food shows you the number of animals killed per second by humans for food. Scroll all the way to the bottom.
2) Mother Earth is a game in the vein of paperclip maximizer and pandemic, where you play as Mother Earth and need to save the humans from mass extinction.
3) Spend that Green is a playful exercise in spending a millennial's personal carbon budget, backed up by horrifyingly real numbers.
We've had a lot of fun building these! Would love feedback.
