The ecological footprint is a measurement of human demand on nature that takes into account population size, consumption levels, and technologies. It indicates whether the planet's biocapacity can keep up with humanity's demands. In 2014, the United Arab Emirates had the largest ecological footprint, while the United States and Canada also ranked among the top three. Individual actions like using less energy, recycling, reducing meat consumption, and choosing more sustainable transportation can help lower our ecological footprints.

2. What is "The Ecological Footprint"?
Human activities consume resources and produce
waste, and as our populations grow and global
consumption increases, it is essential that we
measure nature’s capacity to meet these demands.
The Ecological Footprint has emerged as one of the
world’s leading measures of human demand on
nature. Simply put, Ecological Footprint Accounting
addresses whether the planet is large enough to
keep up the demands of humanity.

5. What can we do to reduce
our Ecological Footprint?
Don´t drive when there is an
alternative! Walk, bike, or
take public transport
whenever possible.
If you need a car make it a
small as possible one and
reduce the mileage .
Install energy-saving lamps
in your home.
Use biodegradable,
non-toxic cleaning
products.
Unplug your electronics
when not in use.
Plant a garden!
Recycle all your paper,
glass, aluminum, and
plastic.
Take shorter, less
frequent showers
Run the dishwasher and
the laundry machine
only when full.
Going meatless for just
one meal a week can make
a difference - more often is
even better!
