Resource Wars

Just a quick thought- I noticed here in Israel, like basically everywhere else I have ever visited outside the US that everything is smaller. Refrigerators, cars, apartments, hotwater heaters, everything is smaller. Along with this comes less resource intensive use of everything. Smaller cars = less fuel. Small fridges = less electricity and less food spoilage. Etc...

America is the only country with this kind of largese and it is really out of step with everywhere else. Also, as a quick aside, every house here in Israel has solar thermal on it. 2 panels and a tank right there on the roof... I'll get pictures tomorrow.
