It says if everyone in the USA lived the way they already do, we’d need 5.1 Earths worth of resources, but if only everyone in India lived the way they do in the USA, we’d only need 0.8 Earths.
From this we can tell there are 6.375 times as many people living in the USA than in India.
Maybe a slight misunderstanding… If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in the US then we need 5.1 earths. If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in India then we would need less. Makes sense to me.
Earth overshoot day is the day each year we use more resources than the Earth regenerates in a year. Last year we used our yearly “budget” by July 24th.
In other words the way we live is unsustainable and killing our ability to live on this rock.

It’s a perfectly reasonable in every way!

Ok. But what’s the bottom row with ‘world’ being 1.75?
Probably illustrating that our current situation isn’t sustainable.

Global consumption compared to what the Earth can regenerate.
yeah this chart makes no fucking sense lol

everyone in the usa is already living like they already are?
i think there meant “if everyone lived like X residents” and each line in the chart replaces X?
oh but the worpd is 1.75 ? that doesn’t make sense… should be 1? unless it’s something about being sustainable
