Learn about Ecological Footprint
The Ecological Footprint is a tool that measures our environmental impact and tells us whether we are living sustainably. The Ecological Footprint measures our consumption of natural resources and our waste output (including CO2). If everyone on the Earth lived the lifestyle of the average Victorian we would need four planets worth of resources - and this is not sustainable!
