The WWF- World Wildlife Fund for Nature just released a report on the ecological status of Earth. The "Living Planet Report" is a quite comprehensive look at the impact humans are having on the environment and at the balance which humans are striking--or not--with the output of resources and human consumption of them.
Not surprisingly, the USA comes in as the 2nd 'worst' nation for overconsumption. Each American person requires 9 hectares (22 acres) of ecosystem. Greece is the 11th (of 148) worst, and each person requires roughly 15 acres. We live in an environmentalists hell.
