The Ecological Footprint

The Global Footprint Network and World Wildlife Foundation has published a report: "Europe 2005: The Ecological Footprint".

The report shows that the European Union uses 20 per cent of what the world’s ecosystems provide in terms of fibres, food, energy, and waste absorption. Yet Europe is home to only 7 per cent of the world population. Europe’s demand on the planet has risen by almost 70 per cent since 1961.

But of course, our American cousins do it so much bigger and better, so indubitably they will be proud of the fact that they are fucking up the planet so much faster than old Europe…
