    The correlation between ecological awareness and ecological damage is really striking.

    And it’s paralleled at the individual level. People who see themselves as green typically have larger footprints than those who don’t - for the simple reason that green-mindedness is correlated with wealth, which is is correlated with damaging habits such as meat diets and flying.

        Estonia at least is richer than it used to be so probably importing a lot while growing, and that puts it in negative? While sharing our Nordics wasteful way of life of flying to holidays and eating tons of beef and driving everywhere.

        But what are they doing in Mongolia? Perhaps it’s growing as well, and similar stuff happening? Importing a ton? Idk.

    Somehow China despite being one of the largest populations and possibly the biggest manufacturers in the world has a smaller foot print than Switzerland.
