As reported by "Living planet "human demands on natural resources have doubled during the last 50 yrs .The populations of wild life species has reduced by 60% in the last three decades in the tropics .

To sustain our present life style we would require 2.75 earths .

According to WWF,the Zoological society of London and the Global foot print network UAE ,Quatar Denmark ,Belgium and the US were the five worst countries for overconsumption of resources .Ireland has the 10th and Britain had the 31 st highest ecological footprint .

That reminds us Gandhi who said mother earth can fulfil the needs of everyone but the greed of none .
