How many earths will it take when all the humans on this planet live like we do in Canada? Big cars, big homes, meat three times a day. Maybe 12? That sounds about right, except that we only have one earth and it's not ours.
This is the goal of the global economy ultimately: "prosperity" for all, or perhaps more accurately for a certain percentage of the population, since the World Bank and the IMF must understand that we can't physically achieve this goal. Or maybe they're insane. I'm inclined toward the latter statement.
So this shirt was created to remind people that as more people move into the category of First World, the less likely there will be a world in the end. You can't make a Hummer out of thin air.
Why not instead meet in a new place, neither First nor Third World? Where is that place? We'd better find out and quick.
