Our appetite is voracious and one of our biggest problem is trying figure out what to do with the leftover PCs, cars, vacuum cleaners, washers, toys, etc. Except for the very toxic part of our waste stream there is no major problem. There are local problems when landfills fill up and no one wants a new one near them. But the fraction of land needed to dump our wastes for the next 1000 years is tiny. I wouldn't call this one of our biggest environmental problems. Tim

RE:"The average consumption per person of the developed nations is far greater than the average in the developing nations. And the biggest piglet of them all is the US."

The rate of population increase in underdeveloped nations is a double timebomb. Jim
