Ecological Footprint vs Carbon Footprint

Using resources at at rate which ensures those resources will be around for future generations is called:

• Ecological Deficit

• Ecological Footprint

• Biocapacity

• Sustainability

how much productive land and water an individual, requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates,

• Ecological Footprint

• Sustainability

• Biocapacity

• Ecological Reserve

Ecological Footprint is measured in:

• Kilowatts

• Carbon Units

• Global Hectares GHA

• Square Miles

The capacity of ecosystems to provide resources for people

• Ecological Footprint

• Biocapacity

If a country has a Ecological Reserve, that means it

• has a Higher Ecological Footprint than Biocapacity

• is not living sustainably within its country's limits

• Has a higher Biocapacity than Ecological Footprint

• Also has an Ecological Deficit

If a country has an Ecological Deficit that mean it

• is living sustainably

• Has lots of forests

• has a higher Biocapacity than Ecological Footprint

• has a higher Ecological Footprint than Biodiversity

Remembering the map we looked at with Ecological deficits and reserves, which countries tended to have a higher ecological reserve?

• Countries just north of the equator

• Countries with a large amount of industry and large economy

• More underdeveloped countries

• Middle eastern countries

Which country has the largest ecological footprint per person

• Australia

• Qatar

• Gabon

• USA

Which country has the largest BIOCAPACITY per person

• Australia
