Ecological Foot Print!

The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate the resources a human population consumes and to absorb and render harmless the corresponding waste. Using this assessment, it is possible to estimate how much of the Earth (or how many planet Earths) it would take to support humanity if everybody lived a given lifestyle. Humanity's total ecological footprint is estimated at 1.3 - in other words, humanity needs 1.3 Earths in order to sustain our collective lifestyle. This is just one of many varying figures on the global ecological footprint.
