5% of the World's Population Consumes a Third of Its Resources and Makes Nearly Half of It's Waste. That 5% is US.

It's also important to note that if the rest of the world's people consumed at the same rate as people in the USA, then it would require the resources equivalent to 5 or 6 planet Earths.
