Ecological Footprint

If everyone lived like I did it would take a total of 5.9 planets to contain enough resources to support the global population.
The largest portion of my ecological footprint is food consumption. Meat, and packaged food attribute to ecological damage. To reduce this portion of my foot print I can eat less meat, and only purchase products with little to no packaging or that use 100% recycled material. With these small changes I can reduces the number of planets necessary to sustain the global population from 5.9 to 4.9.
