National Geographic - Earth Pulse 2009

There are 6.8 Billion people on the planet.

Together we consume 1.4 Earths worth resources per year.

If everyone consumed like Americans, we'd need 5.4 Earths to sustain us.

If Americans consumed like the: British 3.1 Earths
South Africans 1.4 Earths
Argentines 1.2 Earths
Costa Ricans 1.1 Earths
Indians .4 Earths

I just did not see the impact, this really makes it clear.
