Explain the concept of Ecological Footprint
Let’s imagine a cow in a field as an analogy. The cow needs to eat
grass to stay alive and do his job. After the cow eats, he will
produce waste which will be absorbed into the field. But the cow
does not need an endless amount of grass or a very large field. So
the question becomes, how much field does the cow need?
n Ecological Footprinting, the cow is the economy and the field is the natural
resources. Like the cow in the example above, the economy needs to consume
natural resources and after it is done with them, it will spit them out as waste
which are absorbed into the Earth. So, the question becomes, how much natural
resources and land are needed to support the economy and sustain the same
standard of living.
