Calculating Your Ecological Footprint

What is an ecological footprint? The total area of functioning land and water ecosystems needed to provide resources to an individual or group of individuals and to remove their waste Used to estimate the carrying capacity for humans

What is an ecological footprint? According to one data set, the average American has an ecological footprint over four times larger than the global average How does your compare?
