ReplyDeleteAn ecological footpring means a measure of how much biologically productive land and water area an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using prevailing technology and resource management practices
ReplyDeleteThe ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate.
ReplyDeleteA representation of the effect human activities have on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced (measured in units of carbon dioxide).

Ecological footprints are measures of how much biologically productive land and water area an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using prevailing technology and resource management practices.
ReplyDeleteis a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human population consumes and to absorb and render harmless the corresponding waste
ReplyDeleteThe ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet earth 's ecological capacity to regenerate.
ReplyDeleteThe Ecological Footprint is defined as "the area of productive land and water ecosystems required to produce the resources that the population consumes and assimilate the wastes that the population produces, wherever on Earth the land and water is located."
ReplyDeleteAn ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the earth's ecosystems. An ecological footprint compares human demands to an ecosystems capacity to regenerate. Methods to measure an ecological footprint vary. An ecological footprint is also a fairly new idea with the first publications about it being in the 1990's.

Ecological footprint is the measure of human demand of the earth's ecosystems, and compares the those demands with the earth's ecological capacity to regenerate.
ReplyDeleteThe Ecological Footprint is rooted in the fact that all renewable resources come from the earth.The Ecological Footprint is defined as "the area of productive land and water ecosystems required to produce the resources that the population consumes and assimilate the wastes that the population produces, wherever on Earth the land and water is located."

ReplyDeleteMeans the number of plantes, where one equals the total biocapacity of the Earth in any one year.
ReplyDeleteOur ecological footprint is the measure of human demands on the Earth's ecosystems. I believe most people have no idea how much the actions of their daily lives have on the planet. If they did, some people would sincerely try to change. I realize that is currently happening but I believe it would be to a much greater degree.
