Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Every 1000 USD of Chinese consumption generates about four a half times more Ecological Footprint than the US and UK and over twice as much as South Africa. China will therefore need to transform to a model of consumption which is much more resource-efficient.
Detailed explanation-2: -The per capita Ecological Footprint for U.S. citizens is quite large, and larger even than that of nations often identified as offering a higher quality of life. The same is true of energy consumption. Fundamentally, the large U.S. Ecological Footprint is due to high consumption.
