Nah, nice job. *India-people arn't living like McAmericans. *

But still... If even you need an entire planet.... don't we need 2 planets At the moment? Becouse of the starving african people? Or becouse of the chinese that live packed up in flats?

if everyone in the first world lived a sustainable lifestyle, only one earth would be needed, and the third world would have enough as well.

it is mostly because the first world arrogantly takes more than they are entitled to that the third world exists..there is enough pie for everyone to have one piece and be healthy, but we take 2 or 3 or 100 pieces. obviously someone has to go without. it really is that simple.

presently the first world uses land that could grow enough food to feed every starving person easily, and uses it to grow food which it feeds to cattle. all so we can eat meat every day like a bunch of gluttons and die early from heart disease...

presently there is enough fertile land to feed everyone. it is the distribution that is fucked up.

Cattle eat between one third and half of all crops grown in the world. They get their protein from plants. And then we absorb it (along with accumulated pesticides) for our protein.

The world's cattle - excluding pigs and chickens - consume quantity of food the equivalent to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people.

This is a very inefficient way to produce food. i am not saying everyone should go veg*an. there is no need to. we could all eat meat two or three times a week and be healthier, live longer, and ensure we are not taking more than our share.


and this logic extends to the other areas covered in the quiz. most third worlders contribute almost nothing to transportation impact upon the environment. shanty towns or mud huts hardly use electricity or running water, etc...
