Abstract
The biggest environmental problem facing the world is probably not population but rather consumerism. If each person on the average in the USA consumes 18 times as much as a person in some developing nations, the effective population of the USA is greater than that of either India or China and both combined. Although the USA is an efficient productive nation, there is good evidence that on the average, citizens of the USA consume more than they produce. This has serious environmental consequences as well as economic. It is important to understand that those who care for the soil eventually interact with those who do everything else in the world.
