Editing Resource depletion (section)

=== The World Counts ===
According to The World Counts, a source which collects data from a number of organizations, research institutes, and news services, and produces statistical countdown clocks that illustrate the negative trends related to the environment and other global challenges, humanity is in trouble if current consumption patterns continue. At society's current consumption rate, approximately 1.8 Earths are needed in order to provide resources in a sustainable capacity, and there is just under 26 years until resources are depleted to a point where Earth's capacity to support life may collapse. It is also estimated that approximately 29% of all species on Earth are currently at risk of extinction. As well, 25 billion tons of resources have been extracted this year alone, this includes but is not limited to natural resources like fish, wood, metals, minerals, water, and energy. The World Counts shows that there is 15 years until Earth is exhausted of freshwater, and 23 years until there are no more fish in the oceans. They also estimate that 15 billion trees are cut down every year, while only 2 billion trees are planted every year, and that there is only 75 years until rainforests are completely gone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The World Counts |url=https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/state-of-the-planet/the-end-of-the-world |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=theworldcounts.com |archive-date=2023-08-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230819024919/https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/state-of-the-planet/the-end-of-the-world |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kilgore |first=Georgette |date=2022-07-19 |title=How Many Trees Are Planted Each Year?
