The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) has confirmed what lots of other reports have been saying - they we are overusing our natural environment. The WWF's biannual report suggests that humanity are using 25% more resources than are renewed naturally each year. The biggest offenders are, surprisingly, the United Arab Emirates and, less surprisingly the United States of the America.

Britain is ranked 14th most profligate nation. The world's average 'score' is 2.23 compared with 9.4 for North America, EU countries 4.8, European non-EU countries 3.8, Middle East/Central Asia 2.2, Latin America/Caribbean 2.0, Asia/Pacific 1.3 and Africa 1.1.
