While reading Rachel Botsman’s new book, “What’s Mine is Yours,” Forrage has come across some ASTOUNDING facts about world wide consumption and its effects on society and the environment.
Here’s one we found particularly jaw-dropping:
“A child born today into a middle-class American family will live to about eighty years old and consume on average 2.5 million liters of water, the wood of 1,000 trees, 21,000 tons of gasoline, 220,000 kilos of steel, and 800,000 watts of electrical energy. At these rates, the average American child will produce in his or her lifetime twice the environmental impact of a Swedish child, 3 times that of an Italian, 13 times that of a Brazilian, 35 times that of an Indian, and 280 times that of a Haitian. If everyone on the planet lived like the average American child, we would need five planets to sustain them during their lifetime.” (Page 6, What’s Mine is Yours, Rachel Botsman)
That’s something for you all to discuss over your morning coffee!
