Ecological living is a life philosophy. Proponents of ecological living aim to conduct their lives in such a way that they have an all-encompassing awareness of earth and its processes. Each choice made under such a way of life requires a consideration of the consequences of the choice, and the way that the decision will affect the environment and all living things within it. Ecological consciousness and care for the earth are of paramount importance in the decision-making process.


By minimizing their "ecological footprints" — the extent to which they create an environmental impact — proponents of ecological living hope to preserve the earth for future generations of human beings and other life.


Ecological living should be a standard way of living otherwise our future could be in jeopardy.
