Can you imagine how many Earths that is? That&#8217;s over 5!! Think about it for a minute&#8230; this is not just a number.<\/p>\n<p>The average South African uses 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres). As this is lower than the allotted amount per person. The average South African is living a sustainable life, and whether they know it or not, is doing their part to limit the impact of the greedier countries. Well done South Africa!
