Victoria Markham, the director of the Centre for Environment and Population, said that although the US accounted for only five percent of the global population, its inhabitants made "the largest environmental impact in the world."
According to their web site, "The Center for Environment and Population (CEP) is a non-profit research, policy and public outreach organization that addresses the relationship between human population, resource consumption, and the environment."
"I think the 300-million mark is reason to celebrate a great nation," she said. "But a nation isn't great if its citizens can't take a critical look at who they are and how they are a player in the global context," said Ms. Markham.
