Question
Chapter 43.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The ecological footprint of a person and what measures can be taken to reduce the ecological footprint.
Introduction:
Ecological footprint of a person measures that individual’s demand on nature. It is calculated according to the daily activities of a person. The food habits, energy consumption, trash generation, land used, and wastage of products used by a person are the factors that contribute to the ecological footprint of a person.
