How many “Earths” would it take to allow the world’s population to keep living the way it currently does? That is the core idea behind the term “environmental footprint.” The footprint is a measurement of people’s impact on the planet. In other words, how many resources we use compared to how quickly the world can recover. It can be a sobering number, and is typically measured in “Earths.” In 2010, that number was 1.5 Earths.
Environmental footprint is typically used for people, but can also measure the impact of a building, region, or even an entire country. There are different ways it is measured, but all generally focus on lifestyle. Energy-saving and water conservation practices allow people to reduce their imprint. Maximizing recycling helps as well. Not only is it important to recycle waste, but using products that are easily recyclable also matters.
Food choices also affect one’s overall footprint. Eating locally grown and organic food means a reduction in transport fuel and chemicals needed to preserve food from distant suppliers.
Everyone can help in respecting our planet’s renewable resources. Monitoring our consumption and focusing on reusable resources is a good start for making sure we all fit well into one Earth.
