Somebody needs to be poor to sustain the riches. Equal share of the earth around 1,2ha per person. When you need more than your equal share to sustain your standard of living someone has to let go something.

how possible can we rely on the ecological footprint concept in environmental management
Edria Murray
Staff editor

The Ecological Footprint is a method of measuring and analysing resource consumption and waste output compared to the renewable capacity of nature.
It represents the amount of productive land area needed to produce the resources (food,

energy and materials) and to absorb the wastes produced by an individual. Since 1980, the

average per capita ecological footprint has decreased as many processes (especially crop

production) have become more efficient.



If the ecological footprint exceeds the available productive land, The resource use is

considered unsustainable.



Globally, the available ecologically productive land area included in the Ecological

footprint analysis is 1.89 hectares for each person. The footprint takes into account fossil

fuel use, cropland, forests, nuclear and hydroelectric power, fisheries and buildings.



Countries with a high per capita GDP have a

high global footprint as they also have a high level of fossil fuel consumption. Some

european countries including Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, the United kingdom and Finland have taken steps to reduce their per capita global footprint.
