That means if everyone lived like the average American, we would consume more resources than the planet can replenish in a year by Mar 13.
A whole years worth of resources in basically 3 months.

Excellent point! It’s important for elites to reduce personal emissions not only because they have an outsized impact but because they set an example. People who never would have listened to Greta might listen to Harry.
