Everybody tends to think that they are an average person. But have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if that were really true? What would happen if everyone on Earth lived the same way that you do?
Your “ecological footprint” is the amount of the Earth’s total surface area that is required to generate the resources that you personally use. Where it is food, water or electricity, every resource requires some amount of space to generate it. Unfortunately there is a limited amount of space on Earth. Do you think that you are using your fair share?
