Footprint

According to the foot print calculator I would need 4.7 earths. It would take 20.9 of the earths productive area to support my lifestyle.
Everything that we need to survive we get it from our environment but like every ecosystem it needs to exist a harmony and balance between human-environment. Sustainability is important because it is a way to assure that we have and will continue to have the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment. Footprint is a calculation of the human pressure on the planet it gives us a possible view of the resources that we might be using and what we are putting back.
The measure is showing us where we are living our biggest footprint, we can use this to cut back in our lifestyle choices. I am going to try and purchase products that use less packaging or are made of recycling products as well products that are grown locally.
