Ecological Footprint

People often get disillusioned by sustainability, saying it is too
complicated to understand, when in actual fact it is really quite simple. Think
of it this way: every human activity consumes resources from the planet and
produces waste that the planet must then deal with. We can even measure how
close we are to a sustainable society. This is where the Ecological
Footprint has a major role to play. In fact, we are all bound to our
planet's environment and natural resources through our Ecological Footprint.

By exploring our Ecological Footprint pages, you can find out about
Ecological Footprint, what Australia's Footprint looks like in comparison to the
rest of the world, and how you can calculate your own Ecological Footprint (or
that of your home, office, school, retail, or event). You can also learn more
about how the Ecological Footprint has come about, how it works, how it has been
used here in Victoria, and get linked to the broader Footprint community around
the world.
