The United States has 5% of the world’s population, but 30% of the total world consumption.
I feel that we believe that as capitalists we can take whatever we want and then leave nothing for anyone else. This makes us extremely selfish and have other countries look at us in awe.
In addition, this came to exist after the Industrial Revolution when we realized that we could use materials on Earth without anything happening, but in fact alot was happening and we are ignoring it.
This is a problem because we will eventually hit a stopping point and that could be BAD.
