12 The World s Ecological Footprint 1961 to 2002 Our footprint on the world has more than tripled since 1961 We have gone from an empty to a full world! We are using up resources faster than the planet can regenerate them and absorb waste. If everyone consumed resources like the United States, the planet could only support 1.2 billion people. With the current population we would require 5.5 planets to sustain this consumption level! Statistics from Worldwatch Vital Signs
