From the page: "IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.7 PLANETS."
Presumably this is meant to encourage me to decrease my consumption in order to "fit myself into the planet". Balderdash. I say we build (or terraform, colonize, whatever) these extra planets so that everyone can live as wastefully as I. I dream of a future of unbounded wastefulness where we can do whatever we want without getting harped on by ecologists. (On a slightly more serious note, the implicit reasoning involved in the extra required planets is specious at best. If everyone lived like me, the world would just be more densely, efficiently, and heavily industrialized. We would not run out of space, and the third world would cease to exist. Yay!)
