CARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON FOOTPRINT


The The ecological footprintecological footprint is a measure of human demand is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earthwith planet Earth’’s ecological capacity to regenerate. It s ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human population consumes and to absorb and render harmless population consumes and to absorb and render harmless the corresponding waste. Using this assessment, it is the corresponding waste. Using this assessment, it is possible to estimate how much of the Earth (or how many possible to estimate how much of the Earth (or how many planet Earths) it would take to support humanity if planet Earths) it would take to support humanity if everybody lived a given lifestyle. everybody lived a given lifestyle.
