How much of the Earth is necessary to support human activities?
Could everyone on the planet live like North Americans do today? Has technology increased our ecological efficiency? Can we reduce our resource consumption and still improve our quality of life?
Our Ecological Footprint cuts through the talk about sustainability and introduces a revolutionary new way to determine humanity’s impact on the Earth. It presents an exciting and powerful tool for measuring and visualizing the resources required to sustain our households, communities, regions and nations. Equipped with useful charts and though-provoking illustrations, Our Ecological Footprint converts the seemingly complex concepts of carrying capacity, sustainability, resource use, waste disposal, and more into a graphic form that everyone can grasp and utilize.
