ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

www.myfootprint.org estimates the area of land and ocean required to support your consumption of food, goods, services, housing, and energy and assimilate your wastes.

Global Average = 23.47 gha/person Earth = 15.71 gha/person

27 questions: Housing (location, size, type) Transportation (means, distance) Energy use (appliances, energy source) Food (amount, type, shopping) Consumption (recycled material, second hand, replace old stuff, garbage)

Question: How many “Earths” do you think are necessary to sustain my lifestyle in the United States? Less than 1 Earth Around 2 Earths Around 3 Earths Over 4 Earths

Question: How does my lifestyle compare to the average in the United States? About the same Lower than the average Higher than the average

Question: How many “Earths” do you think are necessary to sustain my lifestyle in Brazil? Less than 1 Earth Around 2 Earths Around 3 Earths Over 4 Earths

Question: How does my lifestyle compare to the average in Brazil? About the same Lower than the average Higher than the average

WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO SUCH A LARGE DIFFERENCE?

Question: If I could change my lifestyle in the United States to be similar to my lifestyle in Brazil, how many “Earths” do you think would be necessary to sustain my lifestyle? Less than 1 Earth Around 2 Earths Around 3 Earths Over 4 Earths
