Humans will need 2 planets' worth of resources in 50 years
Oct 25, 2006

Hi, all,

Came across this news item a few moments ago, and it shocked me:  Humans will need 2 planets' worth of resources in order to support our current levels of consumption, by the year 2050.  For many of us, this is within our own lifetimes.

I have submitted the article to the Care2 News Network:

Please read.  This planet is in crisis.  We need to be aware of the situation, inform others, and TAKE ANY ACTION WE CAN to try to avert this disaster.

Thanks,

Teri
