    English subtitled message from France's Minister of Ecological Transition:

    You can now work out your own consumption at http://www.footprintcalculator.org/

    yup, Earth is a relatively closed system, it's not like we are getting any shipments of supplies from Jupiter or something.

    I have always been keenly aware of this and have often wondered why so many aren't.
