Entry #10

When I was calculating my ecofootprint, I thought I was going to do pretty good. If everyone lived like me, we'd need 5 Earths to provide enough resources. To support my lifestyle, it takes 22.1 global acres of of the Earth's productive area. I thought I was going to do better then that. I could purchase products that use less packaging or are made out of 100 percent  post-consumer recycled content materials to reduce my footprint. It would reduce my footprint by .3 Planet Earths to 4.6 Planet earths. The maximum population that Earth can sustain is probably about 1 to 2 billion people.
