Conclusion: Are we in balance?  There are only global hectares available per person on a renewable basis.  This means we are overshooting the Earth's biological capacity by nearly 50%. To sustain present levels of consumption, we would need:

Discussion + ALL GROUPS - Make a personal list of actions to reduce - Make a personal list of actions to reduce Your Ecological Footprint. Your Ecological Footprint. - Then vote for two actions that will make a difference! - Then vote for two actions that will make a difference!  Britt-Marie ”Is it important with biodiversity?” ”Is it important with biodiversity?”  Marcus E ”Is it important to save a threatened species?” ”Is it important to save a threatened species?”  Marcus H ”What kind of ecosystem-services do we need?” ”What kind of ecosystem-services do we need?”  Robert ”Are the human species more important than other species in nature?” ”Are the human species more important than other species in nature?”
