Ecological footprint
* The impact each of us has on the environment by the lifestyle choices we make i.e. getting on a plane, the car we drive, whether we have air-condition in our office or homes and even the food we eat. You can calculate how many resources your particular lifestyle consumes. Unfortunately many of us in the west consume many times more resources than can be produced in a sustainable way. If the human race continues to consume resources at this rate, then we are likely to need three plant Earths to keep us going.
