There is a new report that humanity has already used up a full year's allocation of natural resources including the most needed one like water, clean air and food. This should pose a lot of concern because we are using more than what the Earth can replenish in a year. I don't know about you guys but I think the problem should be made of the highest of political agendas for governments all over the world. It's time for them to put a hard stance on the issue and save the planet.

You should read the works of Julian Simons, an economist who studied these issues in considerable depth.  He disagreed with your point of view.

There was one commodity that he did think was in short supply.

there are plenty of unused resources and farmland in Russia, let's hope they are selling some of it to us...
Oh wait.. So maybe that's why there's a NATO troops concentration on russian borders...
