As I mentioned before, one of my key goals for this blog is to find a way to communicate the scope of the challenge in a very simple way. In a way that average people can rally around, or feel compelled to engage with.
This article shows an interesting way of communicating how much impact the United States has on the global sustainability challenge.
As the article highlights, "It is simply impossible for everyone on the planet to live as Westerners do today. We would indeed need three planets to do so. We still only have one."
This is a troubling statement, not just based on existing Western lifestyles (which many of us enjoy), but based on the growth of Asian societies that are frequently trying to emulate Western culture.
