Human Footprint Continued

I went on to watching a DVD produced by National Geographic called Human Footprint. If I was astonished before about getting an idea of how much I impact the world, never did I have any idea of North Americans contributions together! Here are some important statistics that I found:
 Most bananas travel 11 million miles. The average American eats about 2.3 tonnes of chicken in a life time. In North American, if we combine all of the food we eat a day that would be approximately 1,649,630, 427 lbs. We eat 9,917 tonnes of potatoes, 4376 loaves of bread, 6 pigs, 255 eggs a year, 25 pounds of candy a year, 2,000 cans are opened a second, over 43, 371 cans are opened over an average life time. The scary part about this is that it is only ONE aspect of our footprint on the planet. How about all of the water we use: 700,000 gallons of water in a life time, there are enough sewer lines in North America to wrap around the world 4 times. We drink 13, 248 beers in a life time. We normally throw away 68 pounds of clothing, jeans alone travel 24, 000 miles before being worn. We wash approximately 35 billion loads of laundry, a YEAR!
This is most definitly astonishing to hear. How does it make us feel when we hear facts like these? Ashamed, imbarrassed? Unhopeful? My major question after watching this DVD was, how would this amount of different in other countries? Are contries in Central America using as much resources as we are in North America? Are the Scandenavian countries using as much? How would other countries feel if they heard we consumed way more then they do? What if our consumption was only limited to our continent? What if we were not aloud to do trades with other countries and had to produce our own supplies? Can we picture '"life" possible if we only had ourselves for support?
