I'll bet if you took all of the various regions, (notice that they

number of people living in them we already need 3 planets according to

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.
