Did you know that it would take 1.3 planet Earths just to be able to sustain the Earth's current population and provide us with the natural resources we currently use? According to the Global Footprint Network, we are overusing the resources on this planet.
The Global Footprint Network is an organization striving to educate people about sustainability and their Ecological Footprint. The Ecological Footprint is the measure of human demand on the Earths ecosystems. It compares planet Earths ecological capacity to regenerate compared to all of the resources we humans use. With this model, we can see how much of our planet it takes to support us while we live a certain lifestyle (i.e.: staying on our current track of waste, or mending our ways and becoming more resourceful).
