Eco-footprint

(Also called the ecological footprint, the environmental footprint, the carbon footprint or the CO2 footprint.)
The eco-footprint is a measure of the impacts of human lifestyles on our planet's natural resources and ecosystems. The eco-footprint helps us to understand how we can use resources more efficiently and how we can progress towards more sustainable practices for our own and the world's wellbeing. Each one of us can take simple steps to reduce our eco-footprint and support Earth's sustainability.
