Do we need 2 Earths ?

Globally, humans are consuming resources at an unprecedented rate, far beyond Earth's capacity to support them. If this trend continues, according to a recent report from World Wildlife Fund (WWF), humanity will need 2 Earths' worth of natural resources by 2050; and "if everyone around the world lived as those in America, we would need 5 planets to support us".

The crazy thing is if we *all *started doing some of the small things it really would make a difference. Like turning down the heating, only boiling the water you need for your hot drink and not leaving things on standby.

Our global footprint.. well, I work in a manufacturing plant in Toronto.. the waste that goes on here is unimaginable. And apparently as standards go we are a pretty good plant. Businesses suck more and waste more than probably hundreds of houses could do by reducing. Not that we still shouldn't individually try to do SOMETHING.. ;)

We need three planets.

One for the Jihad Suicide Lovers

One for Jerry Falwell
& Pat Robertson

One for the rest of us that really
believe in 1st Amendment principles

Wow Snake Hunter.

So to quote "1 world for the Jihad Suicide Lovers - 1 for Jerry Falwell & Pat Robertson"

But your 3rd one takes the cake. And the last world for residents of the United States. Very Amero-centric of you.

What about the rest of us?
