In the name of the Ecological Footprint Team of the
Ministry of Environment of Ecuador I would like to
thank all of you for the opportunity given of becoming
partners of this great campaign to create awareness
regarding to the Ecological Overshoot Day. It was an
honor to be part of this great event in which we spread
the importance of this day and the actions that Global
Footprint Network is taking, as well as the actions being
carried out by the country (the only Latin-American
country calculating the Ecological Footprint with national
official data and establishing goals in our National
Development Plan), through the joint work of the Ministry
of Environment with GFN.
…
Once again, we could not be more grateful to have
been considered to form part of this great and so
important campaign. We also want to let you know
that you can count on us for any other events that are
planned and this way join efforts for change.
