What is an Ecological Footprint? • Measures the human impact on the world’s natural resources in comparison to what the world can provide • Australia ecological footprint is 7.8 global hectares per person Picture from: http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/ecologicalfootprint/ausfootprint/default.asp
How can I improve my Ecological Footprint? • Eat less meat • Increase the amount we recycle • Make compost • Hang washing outside rather than using the dryer • Walk or ride to school more often Picture from: http://www.squidoo.com/Carbon-Footprint-2 http://econews.com.au/uncategorized/do-the-right-thing-use-the-right-bin/
Conclusion • I learnt that I should ride my bike to school rather than asking mum to drive me • We need to look after the world so that we don’t run out of resources Picture from: http://www.bagdad.tased.edu.au/about_us.htm
