We Will Need Two Earth's Resources by 2030...
Current levels of natural resource consumption, averaged over the entire growing human population, means that we are using resources 50% in excess of Earth's ability to sustainably regenerate them. We effectively need 1.5 planets to support us. By 2030, at current economic and population growth rates, we will need two Earths.
...But 4.5 If Everyone Consumes Like the US & Rich Nations
But that's what things look like from a distance, getting closer to the image reveals that there are great inequities in resource consumption--which I hope is no surprise to regular TreeHugger readers. If everyone on the planet consumed resources like the average US citizen, we'd need 4.5 planets.
