Ecological Footprint

So many talks about Global warming, Extinction of species, Deforestation, and so many more things concerning the environment. We mainly think all of these are mainly due to industries, cars, some poachers and fisherman doing lots of hunting, and many other people.But do you know how much our lifestyle affects the environment???Enter : Ecological footprint. Like every step you take on a sand or any soft land surface leaves your footprint behind. The way we live, buy stuff, travel.... makes a hell lot of difference to the environment. It leaves a mark on our fragile planet. Everything we do has consequences.So Ecological footprint basically tells you how many earths are required if everyone starts living as per your lifestyle..........

Today, humanity's Ecological Footprint is over 23% larger than what the planet can regenerate. In other words, it now takes more than one year and two months for the Earth to regenerate what we use in a single year. When resources are consumed faster than they are produced or renewed, the resource is depleted and eventually used up!!What I would suggest is that you take a Ecological Footprint Quiz and find out how many Earth's you require... And then there is lots of information available on how by making minor alterations in your lifestyle you can reduce your Ecological Footprint.

Go ahead and make a difference to our Mother Nature :)Jai GurudevLoveJeet
