How do ecological footprints exist at a personal level and extend to larger scales?
- An ecological footprint is the impact of a person or community on the environment, expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their use of natural resources. It's an indicator that measures the nation's impact on Earth and its natural systems, it indicates whether a country and it's people are living symbiotically or harming the planet, it does this by comparing our consumption of natural resources with nature's ability to replenish them. What is a personal footprint? The land area that it takes to support your personal lifestyle. Each person's footprints is included in the nation's impact on the Earth, one person's lifestyle effects the rest of the world.
