I made myself a vegan who produces no waste, lives in a tiny condo with no electricity with 3 other people and don't fly, drive, or ride a motorcycle . . . We need 2.6 earths for everyone to live like that?! WHAT!? The second one I filled out in my actual lifestyle. We live as a family of 4 in a modest home, reduced our meat intake, buy as little stuff as we can, recycle anything we can in our city, compost, have a garden . . . 4.4 Earths! WHAT! Maybe I should go live in a grass hut and eat mud, it's the only way the enviro-loons will be happy. Here is an interesting fact. Did you know that you could fit all the people on the earth in Central America and we would be well under the population density of Tokyo? 6.6 billion people fit there at 12600 people per sq km. Did you know that Dhaka, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Seoul, and Tokyo all have higher population densities? Obviously Central America would be relatively comfortable compared to these areas. Why hasn't it been suggested to herd everyone one the planet in to a small area with ample farm land. We wouldn't need to ship stuff all over the planet and would be much better off . . . unless you like freedom . . . which environmentalists are against. Those calculators are a little skewed I think.
