Here’s some of what we’re doing at Compassion to care for the poor Earth and the dirt poor.

And here’s how we in the U.S. are caring.

• Americans constitute 5% of the world’s population but consume 24% of the world’s energy.
• Americans eat 815 billion calories of food each day — that’s roughly 200 billion more than needed — enough to feed 80 million people.
• Americans throw out 200,000 tons of edible food daily.
• The average individual daily consumption of water is 159 gallons, while more than half the world’s population lives on 25 gallons.
