I'll bet if you took all of the various regions, (notice that they don't
show you how they differ on that map), and weight them by the number of
people living in them we already need 3 planets according to the earth
day calculator. But maybe I'm just cynical.

As we seem to be in the mood for answering questions, try this:
http://www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp
------------------------------------
FOOD
1.6
MOBILITY
9.7
SHELTER
0.5
GOODS/SERVICES
5.8
TOTAL FOOTPRINT
17.6
IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 5.3
GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES
PER PERSON.
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 9.8 PLANETS.

Let's go find 'em.
Cheers,
