The main conlusion.....

That if everyone in the world lived as we do in Europe we would need three planets to support us. Therefore we need to reduce our impact - our ecological footprint – by two thirds to a sustainable and globally equitable level. Different countries however are consuming at different levels. In the USA, five planets would be needed, whilst in China although now living within the one planet level, the current rapid development will lead to a massively increased impact.

The Bioregional Develpoment Group are establishing communities to demonstrate
