You are a family of five enlighted, aware people, we are a family of three, together we are eight people who care about the earth. We can only influence those in our immediate sphere, but hopefully those people will go on to influence more. Thank you for your commitment to the earth and thank you for sharing your experiences.Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440086180744304296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803485966019129627.post-45557777266228464692007-01-22T19:16:00.000-08:002007-01-22T19:16:00.000-08:00Okay, I might have been over-stating.

It is true that the US makes up between 5%and 7% of the world poulation (depending on which data you use) and that we consume 24% of the world's available energy. I belive that the 95% I speaking of was how much of the world GDP we consume, although I may be mistaken because I cannnot find the source I was thinking of. Either way, we consume way too much.

I was just curious when you stated that Americans make up less than 5% of the world's population but consume 95% of its resources. Can you quote a source for these facts? (I am not American btw LOL)If that is true, it's a very thought-provoking fact. I constantly feel that here in America all kinds of luxuries have become 'necessities' and people 'need' to own so much stuff. A friend of mine is preparing to have a baby and her need list is endless. I can understand a crib and a changing table (though personally I don't even need those), but an exersaucer, diaper genie, wipes warmer, vibrating musical bouncy chair, several carseats for different cars that they own etc etc??? Holy moly. I'd just like to (subtly) remind people that I meet about how we are using up resources for all these luxuries and how less can be more. So, I would love it if you could let me know where you got those figures, so I can use them! ;) Thanks, and again, good luck!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803485966019129627.post-65272961808366218672007-01-15T18:07:00.000-08:002007-01-15T18:07:00.000-08:00Awesome, Matt.:)Awesome, Matt.:)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767183775218698451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803485966019129627.post-3819579664191275052007-01-15T15:09:00.000-08:002007-01-15T15:09:00.000-08:00I LOVE this blog.
