This is what I'm talking about. Please forgive the source.

The current Ecological Footprint of average Americans is about 10 hectares. The worldwide average per capita footprints is 2.3 hectares. There are less than 2 hectares available per person -- this means that our overshoot is at least 20 percent. How many people live on Footprints lower than the world average? (73 percent) How many people make up 80 percent of the world's Footprint? (The 97.5 percent having a Footprint lower than 12.7 hectares per person. The other 2.5 percent of the world population with a bigger Footprint take 20 percent of the globe's Footprint. Without them, the overshoot would go back to zero.)

I do believe the planet could better support the world's population, but we have to get past oil and the earth's population has to stabilize.
