Ecological Footprints quiz
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.
In 2006, humanity's total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.4 planet Earths – in other words, in that year humanity was using ecological services 1.4 times as fast as our Earth can renew them.
Currently Indonesia is relatively low on the list of countries with high ecological footprints. We can learn many lessons from our Indonesian neighborhoods on how to live in a more sustainable way and preserve this beautiful country's vast and amazing natural resources.
