Follow-up to recently posted article about New Hampshire "green living".
The couple moved from Cali to NH, built off grid house with nice cedar schindels on ~200acre family estate grounds. We can infer from the article that there might not be more than 10people involved in this family circle (kids, relatives, grandparents) sharing this very property. So, that's roughly 20acres per person, each adult is driving ~expensive cars like Prius, Forester. How many Earths are needed in order to offer such a lifestyle to the rest of human race? Sorry, for posting this silly rhetoric question in the end.

PS I'm in no way bashing their efforts and choices, e.g. the house seems rather simplistic/rudimentary, apart from floors also nice use of concrete in the kitchen instead of marble etc. Evidently lots of locally sourced materials and labor, just wondering about the scale what passes for green..
