Bell Ringer: On a piece of notebook paper, please write down 5 cool facts you learned yesterday about the Human Footprint we leave on Earth.

The Global Footprint Footprint Calculator How much land area does it take to support your lifestyle? Take this quiz to find out your Ecological Footprint, discover your biggest areas of resource consumption, and learn what you can do to tread more lightly on the earth. Footprint Calculator How much land area does it take to support your lifestyle? Take this quiz to find out your Ecological Footprint, discover your biggest areas of resource consumption, and learn what you can do to tread more lightly on the earth.

What part of my Footprint can I influence? Some of each person's Ecological Footprint is dependent upon choices they make in their own life, such as how much they drive, recycle and purchase new products, and some of it is their per person share of their societies' infrastructure. The first part can be influenced directly. The second part is equally critical to living within the means of one planet, but must be influenced through more indirect action such as political engagement, green technology and innovation, and other work toward large-scale social change.

Biodiversity

Biological diversity, or biodiversity, refers to the variety of life on Earth. As defined by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, it includes diversity of ecosystems, species and genes, and the ecological processes that support them. Natural diversity in ecosystems provides essential economic benefits and services to human society—such as food, clothing, shelter, fuel and medicines—as well as ecological, recreational, cultural and aesthetic values, and thus plays an important role in sustainable development. Biodiversity is under threat in many areas of the world. Concern about global biodiversity loss has emerged as a prominent and widespread public issue.

Sustainable Development ……………. is a pattern of growth in which natural resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come.resourceenvironment Example: The Amazon Rainforest!

Stakeholders

Specific people or groups who have a stake in the outcome of the project. They are affected by an outcome. Normally stakeholders are from within the company and could include internal clients, management, employees, administrators, etc. A project may also have external stakeholders, including suppliers, investors, community groups and government organization.

Stakeholders stand to gain or lose from a situation. Example:  Who are stakeholders of the Super Bowl?  Who are the stakeholders in public education?
