IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 7.6 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.


IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.8 PLANETS.


It's interesting that they don't mention water at all. In Australia at least, there are grave concerns about the amount of water we have and what measures desperately need to be taken in order to safeguard for the future of ourselves and the environment.
