    Depends on how many lives are cut short and never become. If one woman were to have had 6 kids who then made another 12 grandchildren, their footprint would be much higher than if a woman never was going to have kids.

    Overall it is a dark topic. But ~7 lives to a fighter jet tank of gas if I saw correctly. (28 metric tons per tank) average footprint worldwide is about 4 per person.

    The moral of the story I suppose is to send everyone to war on foot, nude, and only hand to hand combat is permitted. Don’t want to figure out the footprint of a sword or hammer. Easier just to say pick up a rock.

    Now that that’s sorted, let’s have some tea.
