Imagine this scenario: The local government in your area has learned about the concept of an ecological footprint. It would like to know more about this measure and whether ecological footprints could help it to implement more environmentally friendly policies. As a respected member of the community who has a background in biology, you volunteer to conduct a scientifically grounded ecological footprint analysis of your household. You will then report back to the council with your analysis and general policy suggestions based on what you learned.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Complete all Interactive Units
