United States Consumption Report

The United States of America: home to the land of the brave, the land of the free, and sadly, the land of consumption. Less than 4% of the U.S. forests have been destroyed, and over 40% of the U.S. waterways have become undrinkable. 80% of the world’s forests are gone. In the Amazon rain forest alone, we’re losing over 2,000 trees a minute. We have only 5% of the world’s population, yet we are using over 30% of the world’s resources. If everybody consumed at U.S. rates, we would need three to five planets, but we only have one! Click Here for the full United States Consumption Report.
