Think its easy to blame the third world for the problem,if we didnt use as much as we do in our gardens and for our window boxes etc that would help for a start.
I know thats a major industry here in ireland,and many people still cut peat turf for their fires in the winter.heck its even used for filtration of fine whiskies.

Basically as long as I can still get my hands on Glenlivet...I am happy
