Ecological Footprint
We travel great distances, eat
food from far away, use
recreational facilities, wear
clothing for different seasons
and produce garbage.
Today we lead very
advanced lives and use
materials and energy
every day.

Ecological Footprint
Why do other countries have
a smaller footprint?• They might use manure as an energy source
• They might walk or bike more
• They might not consume a lot
• They might reuse a lot of what they have
