According to figures from our Department of Energy, each person in the U.S. consumes as much energy as
2.1 Germans
12.1 Columbians
28.9 citizens of India
127 Haitians and 395 Ethiopians.

As a nation, we lead the world in carbon dioxide emissions, nearly twice the amount of second-place China (which has one billion people). We lead the world, by far, in water and oil consumption. We have the largest houses in the world. Each year, the average American generates 189 pounds of food waste, 183 pounds of plastic trash, 570 pounds of paper trash, 86 pounds of glass trash, and so on.

In short, Americans make the biggest environmental footprint on the planet. If one views the earth’s resources as one common stash, we’re the guys hogging all the supplies.
