    Switzerland 2.8, Germany 3.0. Sorry, but no. Overconsumption in Switzerland is higher by A WHOLE MAGNITUDE compared to Germany. Not because Swiss are less caring, just because the purchasing power is so much higher in Switzerland compared to Germany and enables higher consumption. It’s being felt at EVERY level of society there. So much (perfectly working!) items of daily use are being thrown away or replaced there, it’s insane. I’m a German who lived in Switzerland for 10 years. I can tell some crazy stories and the 2.8 vs. 3 earths are absolute bogus. I’d rather say if a all German world population consumes 3 earths, an all Swiss world population would comsume north of 5 worlds by my humble estimate.
