Objective of this Assignment: In this discussion forum you are to think beyond the concept of connections with the world around you, focusing primarily on your own individual relationship.
Focus on the following questions to help formulate and encourage discussion:
1. What is the significance of ecological footprint?
2. Why is the ecological footprint of developing countries generally smaller than that of developed countries?
3. Based on what you've explored so far, what do you think the ecological footprint of urban versus rural areas would be in general terms? Would the same logic hold true in both developed and developing countries?
