   Hello...   
      
      
   Yet more philosophy about is economic growth sustainable in capitalism ?   
      
   As you have notice(read below), the global average ecological footprint   
   is 2.84 gha per person while the average biocapacity is 1.68 gha per   
   person; it takes 1.69 Earth to cover the consumption of humanity; and   
   this global average ecological footprint brings problems, so this global   
   average ecological footprint is growing more and more,   
   so economic growth can be separated from unsustainable resource   
   consumption and harmful pollution. It is what our humanity has to do.   
      
   More philosophy about is economic growth sustainable in capitalism ?   
      
   Some benchmarks for the year 2014:   
      
   The global average ecological footprint is 2.84 gha per person while the   
   average biocapacity is 1.68 gha per person; it takes 1.69 Earth to cover   
   the consumption of humanity; and this global average ecological   
   footprint brings problems.   
      
   A French person needs 4.7 gha to maintain his standard of living. If all   
   humans consumed as much as a Frenchman, we would need 2.79 planets;   
      
   An American needs 8.37 gha for his consumption. If all humans consumed   
   like an American, we would need 4.97 planets;   
      
   A Brazilian has an ecological footprint of 3.08 hag (1.83 planet);   
      
   A Chinese has a footprint of 3.71 hag (2.21 planets);   
      
   An Indian has a footprint of 1.12 hag (0.67 planet).   
      
   a Haitian has a footprint of 0.67 hag (0.4 planet).   
      
      
   Thank you,   
   Amine Moulay Ramdane.
