Chapter 17, Problem 1GFO
Calculate your current personal ecological footprint by using the online calculator at the Global Footprint Network (www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators), Once you’ve calculated your current footprint, you can change your answers to determine how much of an impact different changes to your lifestyle would have on your footprint. Can you see ways to make dramatic improvements in your ecological footprint? Are you willing to make these changes?

- Find a reference to the carrying capacity of Earth (for humans). It needs to be some estimate of the number of people that scientists estimate the earth can support. Note: this is NOT an estimate of what the population will be in the future; but rather what the earth is predicted to be able to support. BE CREATIVE and search more than one source. You will not receive credit if your summary covers the fırst article I see when I google this topic. In Canvas provide: • The estimated carrying capacity • Group/researcher who reported this estimate • How the group/researcher estimated carrying capacity (what variables were used) • Whether you think this is a reasonable estimate, and why or why not.
