Quote by: Pale RIder You could give every man woman and child on earth 1500 square feet of living space and they all could live within the borders of Texas. I would say that the earth is mostly uninhabited. And if we were really overpopulated, our resources would be getting very scarce and expensive...just the opposite is happening. Goods and resources are getting cheaper all the time. |
Uninhabited?
To sustain our lifestyle, we've overfished many seas and oceans, we've flattened alot of land and cut down a vast amounts of forests. I think you're mistaken in thinking we could just live in harmony with our 38 foot by 38 foot land. Are you saying we could get all the food and water, entertainment and equipment we're all using in the developed world if we were all allocated by only this much land? Are you saying we can fit 6.3 billion into Texas and still live the lifestyle we have now?
Are you even aware of our ecological footprint?
