The sustainability challenge is for us to find ways to experience rewarding lives, within the limits of one planet. How well are you doing? 
The ecological footprint (or eco-footprint) is a tool to measure our ecological impact on the world.
It the estimated area of land and sea needed to provide us with all the energy, water, food and other things we use or consume - cars, houses, books, films, food etc. In other words, the footprint is the area of land that individuals, organisations or even nations use to go about our daily lives.
Sound complicated? Actually it's very simple, all you need to do is open the EcoFootprint leaflet and tick the boxes that best match your life style, then check your average. The leaflet also contains interesting facts and simple tips on how to reduce your ecological footprint. Alternatively, click on the link below and calculate it online.
