In today's society we pollute our planet everyday through various ways. We are thoughtless, leaving the kitchen sink on, the engine of our cars, wasting gas driving aimlessly around. It's these actions that make up a country's ecological footprint, or the measure of human demand on an Earth's ecosystem. This can show how many planet Earth's it would take to support the world or one country's population. For example USA needs 5.3 planets to sustain itself while China only needs 0.9. As you can see through these statistics China is, at the moment, much more sustainable than the US. The image above portrays how if everyone polluted as much as the West it would take more planet Earth's than if everyone polluted as much as the East. Both sides have been blaming eachother for rising pollution as development grows but blaming others will not solve the problem at hand. Whoever is at the most fault, whoever is to blame, we still end up with the same issue, a dying world.
