Ecological Footprint Summary
The way this world works, there's got to be some kind of limit to the resources that we are using every single day. The ecological footprint measures how much area of biologically productive land and water an individual requires, in order to produce all the resources it consumes, and to absorb the waste it generates. The ecological footprint should always be lower than the biocapacity of the earth. Biocapacity is all the materials the earth can generate. As of now, if we keep doing what we're doing we will need 3 Earth's to support us when we only have one. Many problems would surface if that time comes. But, if we rapidly reduce all the things were using it will allow earth to last much longer. On the other hand, I learned my own ecological footprint. I was WAY over the capacity of one earth, so I decided to change some of my habits and I'm really proud of my changes and how big of a difference it really makes.
